Is the you Mac? "Ken MacKay"

Pardon? Was replying to JT's post, but maybe he had clicked on it. BTW hold-drag-release even better :-) Nice physics engine.... but it's no GPL. :-P Ken Dan_Leach wrote:

BTW i have about 50 sattelites in a stable orbit atm. :) dan "Dan_Leach" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:anhhqt$e3rbs$[email hidden]...

Would be a heck of a lot more fun and educational if one could add parameters with input boxes instead of using the mouse as the space shuttle.

Just set them off at the right speed about 2.5cm from the planet ...keep them away from the moon ... im still trying to get a stable oorbit on the moon but it decays after about 10 cycles dan :-) "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Define "stable". :-) I had a couple dozen buzzing around for over 10 minutes, but after about 2 hours there are only about 8 left. However I do have one going counterclockwise in a low (about 1 earth diameter) orbit, the rest going clockwise a couple diameters out. 10 cycles around the moon! I could barely get 2. Tried to get one orbit both the earth and moon but not even a full cycle. Ken Dan Leach wrote:

I got about 15 orbits of the Earth before it blasted into the moon. :) "Carl Ribbegaardh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:anhqvo$ebce5$[email hidden]...
