apoapsis

This orbit is around the sun (as asteroids tend to) and the apoapsis is closer to Jupiter's orbit than Mars.

Anything it loses to the solar wind on the flyby comes off the apoapsis, not the periapsis.

Ended up in a fairly elliptical orbit, as the launch program didn't control the apoapsis too well in the end.

There are not that many, less than a 100 with apoapsis inside of the Earth orbit.

When talking about orbits it's very useful to be able to make a distinction between apogee and lunar or solar apoapsis.

Every time around my apoapsis would drop, the periapsis stayed almost constant through many orbits.

Then hands off until 2nd stage and then throttle down to avoid overshooting the apoapsis.

More likely, it will have reached its apoapsis and fallen back on your planet, unless you have one hell of a gun...

When you are in a highly eccentric orbit, your speed at apoapsis is much lower than your speed in a circular orbit.

When my apoapsis was low enough I didn't expect to get another orbit I turned back around and went in.

But since the impact point isn't guaranteed to be the periapsis or apoapsis, the above mentioned diametrically-opposing point also cannot be guaranteed to be an apsis.

People playing KSP speak of apoapsis because Kerbin isn't Earth.

You inadvertently gave the solution: "lunar apoapsis", "solar apoapsis", "earth apoapsis".

The periapsis and apoapsis of the transfer ellipse are the radii of the inner and outer circles, respectively.” You could even memorise that fact and regurgitate it on the exam.

I had fun "getting into orbit" and watching my velocity increase at periapsis and decrease at apoapsis, then descending and landing with the rocket power button ([Space]).

There are reasons "apogee" is more recognized word than "apoapsis".
