writing sci fi is fucking exhausting bc i have a whole degree in aerospace systems now so my brain simply Will Not let me write a scene without doing the setting justice
me:they land on a planet
the part of my brain that remembers my airspace control and orbit mechanics courses: this is a trading planet so it would be high traffic, they’d be looking to avoid congestion. so they’d probably start in a graveyard orbit, assuming there’s some kind of air traffic control network in geostationary, and then it’d be a series of transfers down, they’d probably be waiting say eight hours for an appropriate transfer path? to they have any structures in low orbit? maybe an intercept and they just park in LEO? what happens if you don’t have standardised docking equipment? what if you need repairs? how about refuelling? what are they even using for fuel? would reusable/tradeable solar batteries work? could you park solar systems in geostationary for people just passing through? do they even need to land at all?
me: oh my fucking god get ON WITH IT
Yeah but the jixtaposition comedy of “oh you expected a Hollywood entrance? Yeah. Not until they call us back with our gate number.”
