[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TheWoozle: [qb] They COULD have been in stationary orbit, but that's a little farther out then standard (low) orbit. [/qb][/QUOTE]Which raises the question of just what "standard orbit" is. Over Earth, a low orbit can be as little as 120 miles above the surface, which a geosynchronous one is something on the order of 23,000 miles. That's a pretty significant jump, as the former is about 1/66th the planet's diameter while the latter is about 3x said diameter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
