Thanx; RE>>Orbital velocity is 17,000 mph, not 8,000mph<< ya I missed putting the 1 in front of that 8000.. somewhere I saw 17500 as their orbit velocity, but then also saw a max speed of 18000, that don't seem to be as much as the Apollos got to, but it's faster than I want to go. --- After thought. ( we are all zipping along in orbit around a medium size sun at a speed of over 66,000 mi per hour on our own space ship earth. ) & PS, a lot of the hawks don't belive that earths orbit could be effected in a Nuke war..but it could, and it wouldn't have to be by much either for life support systems to fail.
