solar gravity

I took a job to clean a solar panel, expecting another gravy run. When I jumped to the area and began to try to clean the panel, I kept drifting away. I thought wtf? I had not experienced the gravitational pull from a star up to this point! What a cool idea! I never did get the damn panel clean, though!

I enjoyed that bit of unexpectedness, if that's a word.

a tip for you... you can try counter that using your inertial thrusters...

Glad you enjoyed that unexpectedness

I wonder why the solar panel was not affected by the gravity of the star, does it have its own solar powered thrusters to keep it from drifting into the star?LOL:P:P:P
