Flight forces and Reynolds number, Bernoulli between two stations, the standard atmosphere plotted against altitude, propulsion, orbital mechanics, and the environmental-sustainability formulas. Covers §24.0 and §25.0.

Environmental Sustainability
Lift and orbits are the same bargain with inertia: a wing turns forward speed into a pressure difference that holds a plane up, while orbital speed turns a satellite's fall into a curve that keeps missing the ground. Both live or die by v² — which is why speed, not altitude, is the expensive thing to reach in spaceflight.
