How do you circularize the orbit?

Easy. First one way. Then the other way.

I think what they're asking is "what is the circularization process?"

Yer na i was the confused one, i had to google harder the normal to find out they where talking about orbital mechanics and not giving out a bunch of pamphlets. How ever to answer the question we use a number the tinnies of VB, the more tins the more accurate the calculation, usually comes down to how many you had while hangin em up, 5-30 most of the time, in a circle with strings attached to all of them. Baz did it with 2 once, no one died but it wasn't great, anyway you lure in a Bogan to the centre, if the tin of VB don't work Bundy red will, they get caught on the middle string, like a Barra on the hook, and as there running amuck trying to get free as well as drink the floating tins, we take our measurements, do the calculations and Bobs ya uncle that rocket's in space baby
