I don't make the rules, I just posted them for entertainment.
When at perihelion, more thrust will create a wider arc.
Less thrust will create a narrower arc.
Right?
So a small adjustment can significantly vary trajectory.
If hit the brakes enough, this thing can orbit the sun until it's on a direct path to earth.
Facts, not speculation.
Speculation if if it will or not.

I do not know.
Neither do any of you.

In a couple days it comes out from behind the sun.
Then we'll know if the trajectory changed.
If it changes, then ETs.
If not, then we still don't know!
