@PearsonArtPhoto Plant is heavily powered with natural gas. The Giga presses have to keep the material hot.
@PearsonArtPhoto Reboost would be cool. Does Dragon have enough delta-v to do it?

@geoffc Did not know that, huh!
As for reboost, early initial estimates show it could kick it up 70 km or so higher.

@PearsonArtPhoto Not a lot, but enough to make a big difference
Seems like the docking adapter the Shuttle left attached to Hubble last servicing mission will come in handy as the APAS/LIDS/NDS docking systems can use it, and thrust against it.
But seems like Dragon does not have a lot of delta v to help all that much, even though every little bit helps.

Gonna miss AI day, tonight, have to wait for Sat night to see what happened.

70 km = ~15 years of lifetime, so...
