pwhodges:
Oh yes, so she was. They fell off; or you're right, and they evaporated.
Also, Hanners has recovered remarkably quickly!
Milesb:
I'm tellin' you! it'll all end in tears! I tol' you before but did you listen? did you listen!?
Rambling aside, they're supposed to be packing, presumably to leave. D'you think Marigold will be able to disentangle herself and head on home in a mature manner? It'd be nice to see and I guess she'd have to if there's any hope of them actually getting home this week...
It's just that, thinking back to her crush on Angus and even some of her actions on Station, it doesn't seem to quite fit that she'd handle the aftermath of this all that well...
Throg:
Hoo boy, from pressed up against the wall to entangled on the chair.
And thanks to these very forums, every time I see Marigold making out, all I can hear is a Richard Marx soundtrack. :-\
VonKleist:
WheeeeeeeeeeEEEEE
This comic left me feeling warm and fuzzy :-)
Thank you, Mr. Jaques!

How /why does Hanners spend all night watching something that rotates out of view every 90 minutes or so? Take naps, young lady.

Well spotted! Also, after that 90 minutes or so when Earth will be in the middle of the window again, they won't be seeing the same part of the Earth as they did during the previous lap.

Ah, but you're assuming that Station is not in a geostationary orbit!

It's been established from hints and outright statements in the comic the station is well below GEO. Hanners, on Earth, points out the station to Sven as a moving point of light (which it wouldn't be, were it in GEO) and, in another conversation, mentions sunrises (and accompanying Strauss music) every couple of hours. Therefore, the station is in LEO.
