Delta v feels reductive, since your fighting negative acceleration to go up and a fraction of that to go laterally, no?

- lazide 1y agoThey’re the same thing. Either you go sideways really fast, or go straight up really far (geo-synchronous distance). Either way, you need the same total velocity delta.
