Space Travel

Did you know staying in Orbit requires very little energy. Once up to 5 miles a second. The rate of fall (due to gravity) will balance the vector of flying off in a straight line. To return to earth you just need to decelerate.

@MoveAlong Oh should I explain the math behind it?

@Lisa82 Actually I live 15 miles from Redstone Arsenal and Marshall Space Flight Center. Members of my family have been involved in the aerospace industry since Project Mercury.

Unfortunately though math wasn't my strong suit. I was a lowly business major.
