[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 16177792, member: 26082"] If it flew straight up it would eventually come right back down. The "ship" needs to get enough tangential speed to create an orbit. In order to stay in orbit, the "ship's" horizontal velocity needs to be equal to its vertical velocity. An object in orbit is constantly falling back to Earth due to gravity, as long as the horizontal velocity is equal to the speed it is falling, it will stay the same distance from Earth. How early it starts its turn away from "straight up" is dependent on weight (which is constantly changing as fuel is burned), the efficiency of its rockets in the atmosphere, and how high of an orbit they are going for. (I know I'm oversimplifying it, but that's the gyst) ...and Maximus said to Commodus, "the time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end." [/QUOTE]
