OT - Touche. However, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that Kepler's equation only solves for two bodies, not three or more, and that gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. That's high school stuff. Mq and I were arguing, essentially, whether size matters. Not an uncommon argument between men and women.-g- It may well be that for satellites, size doesn't matter very much - that is definitely outside my area of competence. But I do know that it matters more than zero.
