Re: shuttle orbit



Wouldn't it be easier if you wrapped the string normally around the toy globe
and then, rotated the globe and saw what happened at a single projected point?

Not sure how you'd rotate the globe under the string.


What's wrong with your name? Did you become an invisible file in a unix
directory? :-)

..Florian likes being invisible
