We were orbiting around the idea of intent and context. We would take the bus into work, and if you said, 'Here's a shirt you might like,' and I open it on my mobile phone, I'm not going to pull out my credit card and wallet. We thought, 'How does someone do this? An e-mail to yourself, or you try to remember?

James Comey

For me, law school was a time of joy and hope. Joy in learning my way around the law - learning how to orbit a problem and to ask myself hard questions and to be asked hard questions. Hope that I could be of some use, to be part of the greater good - to make the world a little bit better.

It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives me the confidence to know that our training facilities are really good, that when you get up there, you feel like you've been there.

Stephen Hawking

In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy.

English Physicist

Rusty Schweickart

It is fantastic to think that one day we may be able to access fuel, materials and even water in space instead of digging deeper and deeper into our planet for what we need and then dragging it all up into orbit, against Earth's gravity.

Buzz Aldrin

I want people to go into space, to orbit around the world a few times, even to stay there for 24 hours and then come back to where they took off. And I also want people with a low income to be able to do that, not only rich people.

Chocolate' is an orbit in which seven different characters keep moving from one place to another to reveal a bigger drama. It's about how ordinary people get stuck in extraordinary situations.

The ISS operates as the 'anchor customer' in low earth orbit to support new commercial space services, including delivery of cargo and, before long, crew transportation services.

Sally Ride

I think eventually private enterprise will be able to send people into orbit, but I suspect initially it's going to have to be with NASA's help.

You're going very fast when you're on orbit, going around the world once every hour and a half.

Orbit in space context refers to a regular, repeating path that an object takes.

Space Movement

The object being orbited is usually larger, acting as a central point.

Central Body

Orbits can be circular or elliptical, not all orbits are perfect circles.

Not Always Round

Orbit can be used to describe a range or area of influence.

Metaphorical Use

It describes a field where certain activities or influences occur.

Activity Sphere

In medicine, orbit specifically refers to the eye socket region.

Anatomical Term

Orbit is often used when discussing injuries or surgeries near the eye.

Injury Reference

As a verb, orbit means to go around something in a path.

Movement Word

When something orbits, it follows the same path repeatedly.

Consistent Path

 they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. As they got closer together, they circled each other faster and faster. Finally, they collided and merged into a single, even bigger, black hole. A fraction of a second before their crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light.

What are gravitational...

 it's easy to explain Bohr's rule for picking out the special orbits. Once you have the idea that electrons behave like waves, you can go look for it. And within a few years, scientists in the US and UK had observed wave behavior from electrons. These days we have a wonderfully clear demonstration of

 It's a region we're very afraid of because no one had ever been there before. If that doesn't fire just right, you fly right past Jupiter. That's it. You don't go into orbit. You go around the solar system again. By the time you come back to Jupiter, it's decades later. Almost there.

 In this case, that's not enough. We navigated by looking at landmarks on the comet. We recognized features -- boulders, craters -- and that's how we know where we are respective to the comet. And, of course, it's the first satellite to go beyond the orbit of Jupiter on solar cells.

 Therefore, skin color is little more than an adaptive trait for living on a rock that orbits the Sun. It may absorb light, but it certainly does not reflect character.
