Molniya orbits are 12 hour orbits that are 'approximately
geostationary' at apogee, which they achieve at a latitude of ~63.4
degrees. This inclination ( i=acos(sqrt(1/5)) ) cancels out the
precession in the argument of perigee (i.e. if the apogee starts out at

I intentionally ignore nothing. I just selectively elect to filter
out or exclude all the usual negatives and perpetual or systematic
naysay by those that continually believe in and otherwise hype each
and every faith-based and government published word, as though it were
the one and only interpretation in town (even though the best

As opposed to:
V(n+1) = (aV(n) + c) mod m
where:
m > 0
0 < a < m
0 <= c < m
0 <= Vo < m (and if c=0, Vo > 0)
whereby it helps if...
1. c and m are relatively prime
2. a-1 is divisible by all prime factors of m
3. a-1 is a multiple of 4 if m is a multiple of 4.
