He probably means it just falls back to Kerbin. blockguy, you have to shoot for under the horizon once you get high enough.


Also, I have a question. Will a spiraling rotation on a probe maintain a straighter orbit in deep space? Or is ASAS enough?

J MASTER:

There is no such thing as a straight orbit.

Spiraling will do nothing to the orbit of your craft unless you're thrusting in a direction as you spin.
ASAS is handy if you want to leave something in a stationary position for docking, but you don't NEED it for something that you're just leaving in orbit.
