Well, fortnite definitely not going that well, so I'll be happy to join on MC when you finish the dinner

And hey, in Minecraft you actually get to keep what you build.

[HellEye]

Yes, and people don't try to brutally murder you every time they see you.
*totally didn't brutally murder 5 people just now*

Describing Fortnite as brutal is quite a stretch.

[HellEye]

Yea it is
But still. Dropping people from 30+ metres is fun

I should feel guilty for somehow seal clubbing in war thunder but I don't...

And, also some satelite just passed over the NL, or something, and me and the father figure saw it!

[HellEye]

Had to be a low satellite. They're pretty tiny

The drop thing is best

[Michen_S]

(-1 + 6 - 1) / 4 + 8 = 9

Here is a drop!

And this time it's Michen who messed up the count...

And, yes, it was a low satellite.

It made it's pass in only a few minutes, soo...

[HellEye]

The pass as in the orbit around the earth right?
Or It was visible for a couple of minutes?
Cuz if it was visible for that long you've got some nice tracking going on

[Brisky]

161,492

No, it was only visible for a few minutes, or less. But it turned out that, whatever the father figure and me saw, wasn't said satellite...

I'm convinced that it was a satellite, and not an airplane, because of it's speed, missing con-trail, and only a very dim solid light, and no other navigation lights, but the satellite that was talked about moved from north to south, and not south to north.

And another reason why it was soo special, is that it orbited in such a way that it's solar panel reflected the sunlight down to the Netherlands every few seconds, as it passed by, wich would make an extremely bright flash in the sky.

Too bad we didn't see it...

[HellEye]

161,492

Maybe it moves north to south in USA or something and you got it wrong?
I dunno.
But I haven't heard of satellites visible with a naked eye

[Brisky]

161,493

Some of them have a really low orbit. And some, like the ISS, are also really huge.


I've personally heard that it's even possible to spot GLONASS satellites (Russian search-and-rescue) with the naked eye, during broad daylight, because of their low orbit.

I've seen photos of ISS.
The camera was zoomed on the sun
And the ISS was still like 1/50th of the diameter of the sun.
I don't think you could see that, maybe besides a random light reflection at night or something.
Or maybe my eyesight just sucks
