Anybody ever get sad thinking about how asteroids 588 Achilles and 617 Patroclus are trojan asteroids in different camps, separated from each other by Jupiter? They can't even be together as asteroids 😭 - ThreadSky

Well, the asteroid placement committee could fix this in a few million orbits, but no one wants to do the paperwork.

BRB off to reread the Iliad and cry

The best part of finishing the Iliad is getting to recover from the Tragedy of War with the sequel, Odysseus's No Good, Very Bad Road Trip

lol it’s funny you should say that because I’m just starting the Emily Wilson transition of the Odyssey.

I propose a redirect mission to push one into orbit around the other so they are a binary pair instead.

Totally agree, it's so sad that Patroclus is currently in a binary and it's not with Achilles!!! This is Patroclus with Menoetius, the homewrecker
