  Of course! And can you calculate for us the velocity as a multiple of a jumbo jet’s speed that a rocket must have to get into a geostationary transfer orbit? #ArianeGroup #SpaceEnablerspic.twitter.com/CYM44gJWAC

  I like when @ArianeGroup social media gives out incorrect answers on orbital mechanics: In orbit gravity still acts. In LEO it is still ~90% standard gravity! The correct answer is to reach that tangential orbital velocity. Nothing escapes gravity.
