Physics of the Scene (Class 11 & 12)

Rotational Kinematics: When matching spin, relative rotation vanishes ($\Delta \omega o 0$). In the cockpit view, the station appears frozen while stars spin!
Escape Velocity: Once docked, total mass increases. Retro-burn accelerates past escape speed ($v \ge \sqrt{2GM/R}$) before atmospheric drag shears the structure.
