I saw a clip the other day that we've all seen. Its from Apollo 13 when they get into space and half of the rocket detaches and drifts off in the other direction.
Its been on my mind all day. What happens to those pieces? Do they just drift off and become part of space? And if so, how far would they be by now as its been about 40 years or so? Do we have any idea?
I had a feeling my trust CP buddies would be able to help me with these thoughts.
