If you are aiming for the International Space Station and accidentally overshoot it, can you make it back? Or do you just drift off into orbit until someone rescues you?
In: Physics
Others have said why you don’t miss, but if you did… Yes you can make it back. You are still in a low earth orbit if you miss the ISS, not shooting out to the stars. The crewed capsules have enough fuel to do an emergency abort and return to earth if something went wrong on the rendezvous and dock with ISS.
