Wellll....I'm not much of an orbitsmith yet, Bob (still learning), but my buddy is an active-duty Air Force orbital analyst, and the trajectory he plotted gave a pretty good solution as described with minimal relative velocity.
Not saying here that he couldn't have been flat wrong (in the USAF you don't become infallable till you make Brigadier General or Chief Master Sergeant , and I was frankly skeptical from the beginning of our discussion), but we'll re-crunch the numbers sometime next week & I'll post the results. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
