The ones going anti-clockwise seem to get affected more by the moon than the one going clockwise ......

That's pretty cool. I used to build satellites. In fact, I'm pretty sure Trojan Horse launched a few of mine up there.

Sure is a lot harder than it looks, to get a satellite to stay in orbit. That's why we have to send up the propellant with them.

I've got three going so far for the last 20 minutes. One is in a super tight orbit around the earth, another a little farther out, and one about halfway between the moon and earth. Pretty fun!
