If Wildstar is correct that "once the object reaches orbital velocity, no fuel is needed to keep the object in orbit", then why do satellites have thrusters, whether powered by hydrazine, plasma, nitrogen, or whatever? And why are satellites' effective life over when their thrusters run out of fuel?
