The article discusses how to move to different orbits while using less fuel and it reminds me of the line from Ender's Game [0]:
"Fighting in a gravity well. That means it's cheaper to go down than up."

- dvh 2y agoI highly recommend the second book of the saga.
- alexpotato 2y agoSame! And I reviewed that one too: https://alexpotato.com/books/?l=hn#EndersShadow https://alexpotato.com/books/?l=hn#EndersShadow
- rblatz 2y agoThe second Book Was Speaker for the Dead. The shadow books came out later.
- darknavi 2y agoSpeaker for the Dead is good, but the series starts to get a bit... weird. Fairly religious, although still in a space-y way. Maybe that was just my middle school take and I should re-read it. Ender's Shadow (Ender's Game from Bean's perspective) is also excellent.
