but one is much nicer.

Only the Department from [snip], where I'll go to work this summer. The user below me is having trouble sleeping.

-three. using the number just looks weird.

-5char

+Rep! Nice! I've never had the patience to recolor the Kerbpaint schemes.

Yet Eric, being unctuous, cried. jnefwe

-7 war!

-8 ja.

So, to sum it up, the 8th grade theory of seasons (the earth moves closest at summer, furthest at winter, equal at spring and summer) is not possible because of orbital mechanics.

as they say on Kerbin, "This isn't orbit! This is falling with style!" (Or in Toy Story. I forget which.) Welcome!

-14 soup

-15 to zed!

Granted. Now you are his mother, crying for him at his funeral when he stepped a mine. I want a puppy.

Welcome! Or make it a flag.

-17 only 117 to go!

I'm not quite sure that's why. It takes more ∆-V to get to a higher orbit, and orbits are different than encounters. I'd bet that the ∆-V for an orbit at Minmus-height is larger than the one for an orbit at Mun height. My understanding was that the more elliptical the orbit, the faster the speed at Pe, so a better Oberth Effect. If you circularize at Ap, the Pe goes up a lot at the beginning of the burn, but goes up slower and slower as the burn continues. Does anyone know how the game processes gravity? So it's never possible to have the axes switched?

In KSP gravity stays the same until you reach the SOI change. I have never made an orbit like that.

Let's say that my orbit is ^^ Can my parent body be located at the very center of the elipse? I know it can be closer to either of the long ends, that's KSP. Could it be in the middle on the Y-axis and offset on the X-axis?

I was wondering why they are not possible when not in 'bolic orbits. I'm making a few simplifications here: uniform gravity wells, spherical planets, objects in orbit with no pull on their parent body, and so on. As I understand it, at a given point on your orbit some distance from your Ap or Pe (X), there is another point on the orbit the same distance away from the Ap or Pe (Y). X and Y are the same distance from the surface of the planet. Or: Mirroring your orbit through the Ap and Pe, the two points are the same distance from the ground. Is it possible to have an orbit where the two points are not the same height above ground-level? For instance, can an oval orbit have the Ap and Pe 90 degrees apart, instead of 180? I don't think so, but I want to know why.

So still at -18, b/c no number from you in the last post.

Born into a lower working-class family, Gabriel has very few prospects in his life. In spite of this, he still manages to close off his paths out of the “hood,†and his fall into the drug gangs marks him as an anti-hero. However, his devotion to his friends, and his artwork on Broad Street lead to his death, a key characteristic of the tragic hero. Finally, his devotion to Marisol and the attention that he gives her can be interpreted to show him as a classic hero. I am still working on that paper! EDIT: Bonus points to anyone who figures out the novel!
