Great explanation. The relevent section is found in the PDF: 3.6 Orbit characteristics and residence-time distributions for temporarily-captured orbiters. Quoting in part "A geocentric two-body orbit is not adequate for describing the motion of TCOs even for relatively short time periods".

Please see the DOT document entitled TRAFFIC FATALITIES IN 2010 DROP TO LOWEST LEVEL IN RECORDED HISTORY. I submit that the disparity in vehicle length, weight and power has never been higher than today. In the past car sizes were more uniform as compared to today's Smart car/Escalade match up, not to mention double length trailers. The above document shows that fatalities have decreased over time. My question is, how are these data explained? Even if we started in the decade when seat belts and airbags appear it seems apparent that the difference in fuel economy won't automatically mean more deaths.

They gave short shrift to the whole concept. I just tried voting and gave up. They have a confusing interface and show static pictures for what is definitely a dynamic media. I don't know how someone, who might consider themselves an artist but unfamiliar with the medium, might vote. I have played a lot and consider myself, at age 60, an active gamer but I haven't played all of these games. How do I determine my votes? In an analogous situation it's if the Oscars were decided by people who haven't participated in movie making were asked to vote but had only one still frame with which to judge the picture. Total crap.

How about Burn and Hurtie

Jim Henson won't mind.
