Earth had two moons. A small asteroid lingered close to our planet in its orbit around the Sun, temporarily caught by Earth’s gravity to become a far away mini-moon. A closer look at the space ...
“The hypothesis that minimoons, or objects like 2024 PT5 on heliocentric orbits similar to Earth’s, could be chips off the moon is perfectly reasonable,” Jedicke said in an email.
One major departure from Blue Origin's past New Shepard flights is the spin maneuver to create the effect of one-sixth Earth's gravity (simulating the gravity of the moon) during the NS-29 mission.
