Many years ago, there was a Space Shuttle simulator game. Some kid got stuck in orbit with dead retro rockets. He figured out a way to de-orbit using the attitude jets and atmosphere skipping. Legend has it, NASA checked out the process in their simulators and decided it worked.
Just struck me, Superman leaps to take flight (he’s VSTOL), but how does he slow down to land? Had Issac Newton known Superman we might have had a different theory of motion. “A body in motion slows down through sheer will.”

That’s it, you’re grounded.
