in addition to the leo i have two more stable orbits, one at about 20% moon orbit and one at about 40% moon orbit. all my satellites are clockwise orbits.

All clockwise? Odd, I'm having more luck going counterclockwise. One LEO up and still no crash, 1 stable, 2 eccentric but stable (20 minutes now). I'm keeping the site open until 4:30 to see if my eccentric will crash. It's obvious they've left out a lot of details - but it's still fun
