1005, Can you launch a satellite? Posted by jasonlevine, Tue Oct-08-02 06:58 AM
This is quite challenging. Click on the "moon", drag the mouse, and release. Try to see how long your satellite stays in orbit. (Launching it into the vast recesses of space doesn't count. ;-))

My record is about 3 years (defining a year as 1 revolution of the moon).
