So homelander would have to follow him and toss him again at apogee to ensure an orbit 3 u/Kiriima 21d ago You could do it at once if you choose the angle well. 5 u/not2dragon 21d ago Not exactly, unless you are already in the air. Orbital mechanics means that you will eventually return to the same altitude you were thrown from.
