I looked up orbital dynamics on one of the NASA sites a couple of weeks ago,
so I have an idea what you are getting at, however, being raised on Heinlein
and Campbell myself, and remembering a previous comment and thread on this
list about "who here has more than one computer on a network at
home ..." (replies of me me me and I'm Brian and so is my wife) ...
I suspect there are plenty of people who either have a clue, or given the
hints and Google will be able to bluff on it...
Which is what one needs - "I can't get my network/ed" is less convincing than
"come and set up DHCP for me, and make sure the machines can see each other
and here is some money".
No?
