Relying too much on the offensive weapons of their acute angles instead of the defensive organs of good sense and seasonable simulation, these reckless creatures too often neglect the prescribed construction of the women's apartments, or irritate their wives by ill-advised expressions out of doors, which they refuse immediately to retract.
The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!
Orbits of the Earth. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is commonly accepted as between 124 and 1,240 miles above the Earthâs surface. Spacecraft in LEO make one complete revolution of the Earth in about 90 minutes (the âorbital periodâ). The International Space Station (ISS) orbits between 198.6 and 215.5 miles above the Earthâs surface. The Space Shuttle and Hubble Space Telescope also operate in this region. The proximity to the Earthâs surface provides a high level of detail and ability to detect distinct objects (known as âspatial resolutionâ).
