I'd be interesting to see some example orbits re-scaled so that instead of showing physical distance, their "altitude" is actually the energy necessary to establish and maintain them for a reasonable period of time.

Someething like xkcd's Gravity Wells (https://xkcd.com/681/) but for orbits would be neat indeed.
