*changing* it's natural orbital inclination

Ummm... No... There is no "natural" orbit inclination. It is inclined or it's not.

Again, how does a rotating universe explain a polar satellite ground track? BTW, ever hear of siderial time -vs- mean solar?

It seems intuitive that if it launches due east from 26 deg latitude, the 'natural' inclination will be ~ 26 degrees.

You can show differently?
