    AA> How can it be 25% of it's distance at day 3, when it only enters L2 in   
    AA> it's 29th day?   
      
   I explained that in a previous message: It's slowing down...   
      
    WV> It will take about 29 days to get there. It will take so long to get   
    WV> there, because there is no propulsion anymore (except for some short

    WV> to it's destination, and because of the gravitational pull of the   
    WV> earth it's constantly slowing down slightly. Its speed now is about   
    WV> 1.7 km/s relative to earth, while during the launch fase it topped at   
    WV> about 10 km/s...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
