Reverting of the introduction
A recent edit reverted the introduction back to its former state, and it was noted in the summary that "more details are on the talk page." Now I don't see anything here... Personally I only partially agree with the revert. The rewrite of the article was not specific to the Kerbinsynchronous Equatorial Orbit (KEO), but was more about synchronous orbits in general. However the old intro was not very good either - it was almost too specific and too in-character ("makes it easier for former cable repairkerbs to install home satellite dishes.") I rewrote it a bit, but I'm still interested in hearing the actual reason for the revert. --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 12:00, 27 July 2013 (CDT)
- About fixing inclination it appears that it is more efficient to do it while at high altitudes and low velocities. And this revert also added this speculation thingy (I don't really know why this is the most popular. It's actually LKO/LEO) and there is a difference between synchronous and stationary. Also I never heard the name “Clark-orbit” before so I edited that. Actually I don't know why there should be only one article about KEO as other celestial bodies also have synchronous orbits. So I'm very interested in the reason for the revert. — xZise [talk] 13:28, 27 July 2013 (CDT)
- Actually I was going to request this being moved to "synchronous orbit", but somehow never got around to it... :/ Also, do I understand this correctly: A synchronous orbit means that an orbiting object takes the same amout of time for a full orbit as the surface of the body it's orbiting, and a stationary orbit is a syonchronous orbit that is equatorial and circular. --dgelessus (talk · contribs) 14:10, 27 July 2013 (CDT)
