If it\'s an inclined orbit then they\'d meet up TWICE per orbit: once on one side of the orbit, and again on the other. But as I said above, this is unlikely since the debris is travelling in the same direction. In fact if it WAS an inclined orbit the debris would be travelling so fast relative to the characters (somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000 km/h, or 17,000 and 34,000 mph, the lower end of that estimate is over six times faster than the fastest bullet ever invented) they\'d come and go before we ever noticed, leaving behind whatever destruction they\'d wrought.

Ignoring the fact that the debris would not stay clustered but would begin to spread out and form a ring (which is essentially what Saturn\'s, Jupiter\'s, and Uranus\'s rings are), the debris, and spacecraft/people may take an hour and a half to return to the same point above the Earth, not to meet up with each other again. The debris are either in an elliptical or heavily inclined orbit relative to the orbit of our heroes (since, otherwise, they would be travelling fairly slowly relative to the spacecraft and people).
If it\'s an elliptical orbit (which it appears to be since the debris seems to be travelling in the same direction as everything else, just at a much higher speed) then it would be extremely unlikely that they\'d ever meet up again for many years (a larger orbit would take longer to traverse than a smaller one). The time it took would greatly depend on the orbital resonance of the two objects (in this case our heroes and the debris cloud); with a 1:2 resonance (the shortest possible time), the debris would return to the altitude of the characters after two of the characters\' orbits (so three hours, not 1.5). The likelihood they randomly fell into a 1:2 resonance is less likely than Ryan falling out of the spacecraft after re-entry, landing on her living room couch just as her favourite program came on TV and surviving (doing it on purpose is still pretty damn difficult).

My question is, since orbital mechanics are pretty much ignored in this movie (and all movies, for that matter, I have yet to see orbital mechanics portrayed even remotely correctly in any movie), is it worth mentioning this exception to [[RealTime Real Time]] at all?
