‘technical definition’

“Cislunar space (alternatively, cis-lunar space) is the Volume within the Moon’s orbit, or a sphere formed by rotating that orbit. Volumes within that, such as low earth orbit (LEO) are distinguished by other names. Practically, cislunar space is a useful label for “the volume between geostationary orbit and the moon’s orbit”. Beyond cislunar space lies translunar space.”
>Cis-lunar is Latin for “on this side of the moon” but also “not beyond the moon”.
(no “lgbtq-xyz-naacp-nfl-stuff, involved, at all.)
