Momentum may not be the right word.
I was sitting here in silence thinking to myself.
I thought about a network of satellites surrounding the entire earth in a grid pattern.
Far enough away so that earth's gravity was close to nothing.
Far enough away so that humans could not see them with the naked eye.
When I imagined this a began to see the thrusters on the satellites firing at random.
I thought they must be correcting their placement.
Then I thought if an object is in the vacume of space could it ever have zero momentum?
Would these satellites be self correcting their placements forever? Or could they slowly fire off the thrusters in opposite directions until they were
perfectly still? No movement at all.
