Airplanes get lighter during their flight and hence their ideal cruising altitude increases over time.

For very large black holes, the gradient of gravity is actually quite small at the event horizon, as it very far from the singularity. In fact its small enough to pass the event horizon and live until it inevitably will be strong enough to kill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification#Inside_or_outside_the_event_horizon https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-is-it-possible-to-live-past-the-event-horizon.621428/#post-3999653 From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermassive_black_hole

Just trying out the new rcs thrusters...

So it does, I only ever took a brief look at bindings and that was before RCS was implemented. Couldn\'t firing up or down also counter elliptical the orbit (if that makes sense) if you distorted it at the right points? If you fire down half way between perigee to apogee, you lower apogee to about where you are. Then if you fire up when half way between apogee to perigee you raise perigee to about where you are. Keep doing this and they get closer and closer to each other. No doubt this is an awful method in real life compared to how it\'s actually done.

Periapsis: 174,628m Apoapsis: 174, 695m Using just just stock boosters and liquid rockets, no RCS. How does RCS help? I thought it just helps you rotate like the SAS? Pretty much when approaching apoapsis fire directly down until until vertical velocity is 0, then when approaching periapsis fire directly up until velocity is 0. Best done when half way between.
