Oct 29, 2026

This is the orbit, the missing tail, the extra push, and the 80 days we actually got. 0:00 The exit we caught late 0:40 A Streak On Haleakala 2:00 The Number That Broke The Orbit 3:15 How Fast Is Too Fast 4:35 A Shape That Should Not Exist 5:55 The Push Nobody Saw 7:15 And It Gets Worse 8:45 The Crimea Photograph 10:00 What Does Not Happen 11:15 The Next Scout Sizes, speeds, and dates are from the public record.
