I agree, it does look like things are finally happening. Lets just hope they dont manage to ignore the storm and continue business as usual...

if it were part of the shuttle discarded during fuel tank ejection,why does the fuel tank catch up the object and over take it?,they should maintain the same vertical distance according to the known laws of physics.




Ouch, this kind of reasoning hurts my eyes! The upper atmosphere is not a vacuum. There is all kinds of drag due to air resistance and water particles, etc... the shape and weight of the object would make it's center of mass much less obvious than the discarded tank. The velocity (which is a vector) would absolutely be different for the two objects.
As for water not casting a shadow, rain drops do, dumping out a bucket of water on the sidewalk sure does...
Also, this could very very easily be a structural mooring instrument, as someone else suggested.

Just wanted to say that though I stick with my above statement, it's also not clear how high up the footage is taken.
Even if the objects are in free fall orbit, their centers of mass would still dictate rotational differences, not to mention any number of collisions that may have happened between the lighter, more awkward object to change it's momentum.

I actually have a physics test on just this thing tomorrow.

i understand and calculated those concepts.my reasoning is that the fuel tank will fall faster than the object as it as more centriform shape,like a bullet offering less air resistance,yet it is the fuel tank catching up with the object.indicating they did not enter free fall at the same time.

the shadows formed by water and ice are diffuse,not as corpreal as this,try it for yourself.it could be highly frosted ice,yes....

....but equally its not ice?,wheres your onus?

the spheres are not important to me,to little visual data to make any judgement.unless their aerodynamics can be plotted.
