Downloading: Some files are large! If you have a dial-up connection, this may mean long download times. It might be more efficient to SAVE the file & open it later, rather than open it directly. It also might be more efficient to go to the ATLC (library basement) & use their direct connections. I've tested all files using both Internet Explorer & Netscape browsers, & all work well.

                    A brief discussion of Newton's ideas for putting an object in Earth orbit.
                    Helps to explain why orbiting objects are said to be in "free fall".
