Is This Really a Space Movie?
The space industry in particular is really put some work into convoluted acronyms. Have you seen Midnight Sky, the new George Clooney Space movie on Netflix? I didn't know there was one. It's got an interesting twist, which I don't know if just saying there's a twist as a spoiler - but it seems like they were making an attempt at orbital mechanics. At any given elevation, there is only one speed at which you can be orbiting. People who think that 100 miles up, the ISS, that they have no gravity are about the same as ours. If they stopped orbiting, they would fall like any of us would so fast.
