Only thing is, outer space isn't completely empty. Satellites for
example experience air drag to a small extent. Over time, the barn is gonna come down way sooner than the cone. Drag is one factor, orbital dynamics another.

I want to know if a pointy projectile in outer space does or does NOT have an advantage over let's say a barn, as far as being propelled in outer space ( or anywhere above, where there is no atmosphere). I think I read recently that it makes no difference. But I have a hard time digesting that. Can someone shed some light on that ? Thanks again, for your all your most excellent answers, Jim |
