Space vehicles, especially big balky ones such as China's Tiangong space station or the International Space Station, are not all that maneuverable. Instead of what's depicted in sci-fi movies, think of a fully loaded semi tractor-trailer on ice with no brakes, no chains, and only powered by a VW engine. | |
