Spacecraft in the atmosphere aren’t traveling at orbital velocity. As they ascend, they gradually accelerate, allowing them to increase speed more effectively the higher they climb. This continuous acceleration is due to the decreasing resistance as altitude increases. https://science.howstuffworks.com/satellite6.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/universe/how-are-satellites-put-into-orbit-and-kept-up-there-for-so-long.html

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1849638460144893990

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
