Well, actually, the whole “only in captivity” thing is a commonly stated myth. I once personally witnessed the whole head-eating process in my front yard as a child, and they were not in captivity in any way. I had never heard of that behavior before, and it inspired me to go learn more about them.
If the R.U. Sirius is only doing 3,000 mph, they’re in trouble. The ISS needs to travel nearly 6 times that speed to maintain orbit. Even assuming they are high enough for a geosynchronous orbit, they would still need to be going around 7,000 mph.
They wouldn’t be reversed. You’re seeing one side of the numbers, and a reflection of the reverse side of the numbers. They would look the same. Don’t believe me? Cut a “5” out of a piece of cardboard and hold it up to a mirror. It won’t be reversed. In fact, mirrors don’t “flip” anything. Think of it like this: if your entire body were invisible except for the very front surface, somebody standing behind you would see what you see when you look in a mirror.
