“Do you know the difference between a hustler and a good con-man? A hustler has to get out of town as quickly as he can, but a good con-man—he doesn’t have to leave until he wants to.” —James Woods, Diggstown

The International Space Station is maintained in a near circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 278 km (173 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (286 mi).
