![Astronaut Bruce Mccandless II Floats Untethered Away From The Safety Of The Space Shuttle With nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive. The first person in history to do so. [700x929 - 88KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Q2rpWN.jpg){kind=link}
If 2 objects are traveling together, then become decoupled the one with the thrust will keep moving. The other will immediately begin to decelerate. Fairly straight forward physics. It would take more thrust to catch back up. You act as if there is no drag. They are supposedly in low earth orbit so there is still an atmosphere so there is drag. Use some logic here.

Lololololol low earth orbite is WAY outside the atmosphere. The drag out there, if there is any, is so negligible its not even funny.

Looooooool ridiculous. Theres no propulsion happening on either of them. This drag that you think exists isnt there.
