This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And most supply missions give it a boost before leaving as well. Also, the ISS can "glide" by turning it's narrow end forward, getting less drag from the atmosphere and reduce the decay rate at the cost of power generation

Yup, but boosting and turning would both be things you wouldn't want to do with a weakened frame.
