Repeating myself: you have no clue. The gist of your posts (plural)
is that "somehow" "they" doe a bunch of stuff [which you don't
understand] and like a miracle, Columbus gets launched on an Ariane V
and is [somehow through means you also don't understand] autonomously
berthed to its proper port on ISS.

Again, you have no clue how this is done in practice: the iterative
design, analysis, test, re-analysis, re-test, et cetera. All your
handwaving to the contrary doesn't make up for your lack of knowledge.

You might as well say, ". . . and then a miracle occurred!" for all you
grasp of the physics and the process.

In the meantime, enjoy reading your own fantasy posts and welcome to a
30 day stay in my killfile - sentence imposed for failure to grasp a
point.
