That rules! As a guy that launches satellites I had a lot of fun playing with that! I got one that would orbit the Earth twice and then swing out, orbit the moon once and come back.

That's pretty slick! Looks like the trick for a stable orbit is to launch in a clockwise rotation.

I have one in orbit. It has been going almost 10 minutes now. Start out close to the earth and move the mouse quickly as you release the satellite in a counterclockwise direction.
