Let me know if you see any weirdness.”

It worked fine on your site, but can’t make this work correctly on mine. Did this work immediately or did you have to make changes so comments wouldn’t be lost? Have installed this on my site and comments are being lost if the Back button has to be hit.

Isn’t an Escape velocity of about 24,500 miles per hour is needed to go into orbit?

RE: “In orbit, what is the net effect of gravity?”

Assumming you mean Earth’s gravity, it would again depend on how far away from Earh you are. For eaxmple, our Moon is in Earths orbit.

“At 1700 miles per hour plus” should have been …

At 17000 miles per hour plus, it takes about 90 minutes to circle the earth. What is the net effect of 32 feet per second per second at this speed?

Maurice…you are right…it is velocity…more specific it is the velocity of any object falling back to earth…velocity in terms of gravitational pull…

Dave…you are right also…height above earth would effect the net result…17000 miles per hour plus is the speed at which NASA puts things into orbit…

So I could have asked the question as…

In orbit, what is the net effect of gravity?

But if I had asked it that way…no one would have had as much fun with it…
kind of like google making a change and letting us all guess what the heck they did now…

There was no “insult” it was a jibe at IncrediBILL’s spelling. That is, he used “you’re”.

Sorry…..but one of my general rules has always been: “If you’re insulting someones post make sure you check your facts first.” :)

Yes, yes I know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
