Satellite about right for fool (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moron

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fool' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'satellite about right for' is the wordplay.
'satellite' becomes 'moon' (moon is a kind of satellite).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right for' becomes 'r' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'moon' going around 'r' is 'MORON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moron that I've seen before include "Halfwit" , "Clot" , "Somewhat feeble-minded person" , "Blockhead" , "Simpleton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
