The Mercury Door
How do I get to the satellite?
- You need to change your trajectory, but when enclosed inside a soap
bubble that's hard to do.
- You can't change your momentum by propulsion because of the bubble.
- Gravity is too weak; try another fundamental force of nature.
- Try magnetism.
- The satellite is metallic, so if you had a strong magnet you might be
drawn there. You never know till you try.
- Carry the lump of metal -- it's a magnet -- along with you into space.
It will be attracted to the satellite, taking the bubble along with it.
