    Advanced Question Lunar space station with very low Rinc

    low R-inc compared to what? the earth? just go from your target earth orbit inclination to lunar orbit with as little plane-change as possible and you're there... will probably end up close to a perfect prograde/retrograde orbit

    General Question Reducing the eccentricity of an orbit

    ok, with a little thought into the shape of an orbit, you can work out that perfectly circular orbit must have equal highest and lowest points (apoapsis and perapis respectivley), which means that your PeA and ApA should be the same, give or take your own margin of error. 10km is pretty good for...

    Updates SpaceShipTwo to begin powered flights by end of year!
