Answer:
Explanation:
A space gun by itself is not capable of placing objects into stable orbit around the object (planet or otherwise) from which it launches them. ... This means that an uncorrected ballistic payload will always strike the planet within its first orbit unless the velocity was so high as to reach or exceed escape velocity.
