Danny, you, specifically you, might as well have said, "Utterly harmless" or "Couldn't hurt a fly if it wanted to..."
Well you don’t want to make your target worried before it gets obliviated. Don’t want it running away

Just wondering can you take a screenshot of the map view so I can see how good the "gateway" is?

PS: Technically you can calculate the orbit of the station by just knowing velocity, height, and GM but I think that requires calculus(which I have not learnt).

You also need to know which direction gravity pulls unless you are at peri or apo

It's doable indeed, here is the calculation:

You were the one who asked for this, don't you remember? :p

You have height and speed, But as TtTOtW said, you have to know in which direction the Moon is too, to get radial speed and tangential speed.
