  1. Oh, wait. You meant staying above the same spot in a retrograde orbit around Kerbin? I thought you meant staying near Kerbin in a retrograde orbit around the Sun. My bad.

  2. Sure, but you'd have to bring lots of fuel since the delta-V required for attaining such an orbit is twice the orbital speed of Kerbin. First you have to cancel out the speed you inherited from Kerbin, and then you'd have to accelerate back up in the other direction.

    You can't stay above Kerbin that way, just like you can't stay next to a meeting car on the road. Your relative velocities are simply too high.

  3. Are you in a clock-wise orbit? If yes, just wait until your ship is at its farthest away from Kerbin, so that you can draw a straight line between it, the Mun and Kerbin. Then, you just burn prograde until you leave the Mun's SOI. This way, you also kill the orbital velocity you gained from the Mun, so you'll get a future Kerbin-orbit that will make you fall straight back home.

  4. It may be a bit inappropriate, but I'm actually a bit curious of the thought process of people who find words such as "hardon" super-offensive and start media-****storms about them. Do they crawl up in a fetal position upon seeing the word, cry themselves to sleep and start seeing shrinks to help them endure their personal hardon-crisis?
