Nope. Basically, if a stranded ship were stuck there, floating in space, he would still have some force pulling on it; that\'s what\'s causing orbiting, along with speed. So, if you were on escape velocity, this rule would mean that earth, mars, Kerbin or the mun will still be pulling on you like 'Hey, @%$hole, I\'m not done with you!' That would make you gradually slow down. If you are in deep space, it\'s like slowing down at your apoapsis to 0 m/s, you just fall down. I may be wrong, I\'m only a 7th grader. EDIT: The air resistance isn\'t helping, is it?
