You guess wrong. I have had more physics courses than you probably can
name.

No need to do that when I'm right the first time.

Perhaps you have not passed the first orbital mechanics class. Since
the orbits are not in the same plane, the orbital planes intersect.
Consider two satellites in two different planes that recently have
passed the orbital plane intersection.

You are laughing at your own ignorance.
