Slacker
Oh, hey, I’m coming up on an atmosphere. It’s okay, no big deal. I’ve done this before. No problem, there’s a bump of air when I hit the first layer. I can just skip off that and head back out into space. Coming up... now. I missed it. No big deal. Well, it’s not trivial, but I can handle it. No problem. So, I’ll just evaporate some of my ice in the friction. It’ll lighten me up, and I’ll buoy right out of here. Geez, I’m not getting much burn, am I? Why didn’t I keep my ice arranged for better friction? Darn it, I know better than that! All right, still got some friction, so I’ll just float right out of here. Riiiight out of here.
Okay, no problem. I can still sheer off some of my mass to change my momentum. I’ll drop it and shoot right back into space. Oh, wow. That was more than I meant to drop. Hey, are those cracks spread--
