You know, much of my engineering career was spent working on big budget, one-of-a-kind spacecraft programs. Amazingly, space tallow never came up :) If we're talking 60 Yg, orbital mechanics will be interesting.

I did not know that about your career! You're only the third NASA (or NASA-adjacent?) person I've met.

orbital mechanics will be interesting.

Yup, and we better figure out a space elevator before landing that tallow

I have worked on some NASA programs, but most of my work was oriented towards national security.

Oh, you thought that was fiction!? ๐Ÿคจ

After double-checking with my old friend Rayleigh to estimate the aperture size necessary for this, your interest in orbital mechanics of huge masses makes more sense ๐Ÿ˜…
