... If one wants to transfer between 2 circular orbits a Hohmann
transfer is the most efficient way if there is no plane change. If the
energy required for the Hohmann transfer is compared to the difference
in the total energy (-GMm/2a) of the 2 circular orbits, it is always
greater. Where was this energy "lost"? ...
