I have two orbiting in opposite directions and have been running for the last 3 hours, so far.

I have a couple... can't really tell just how stable. They've been going for a couple of hours and only poke into the corners every now and then.

neat MiniD they must have been started slow

I would love to see this in a 3D model, kinda like 3D chess.

My mind would explode, but it would be cool IMO

The were started 180 out from the moon, trying to match the moon's orbitting speed.

Thursday july 3rd on work puter I had 2 in orbit. I got back on that sytem today it was still up and they are still in orbit.

I got 7 going all in clockwise orbits around earth, over 20 minutes now. All eliptical orbits too, none circular really. Just randomly started a bunch and earth is now swiss cheese and moon is more like a cheese grater.

But, I cannot dupliate it with countercloskwise direction of flight.
Interesting, very very interesting.

BTW, my son and my money go to CU engineering and old college roomate is Physics Professors at CU. So, I'm glad they've put something up that is of use to the general public!

Got one to BnZ the moon, making real aggresive slashing attacks, then managed a reversal off screen which flung it into a now almost constant orbit about a centimeter off the earth..

Set another one which is in an almost identicle course, in the opposite directions, they both pass over eachother ever half orbit.

GOt one making a wwiiiiiiiide orbit (offscreen for like, 5 seconds).. more like a comet, knockin over some trees on it's way through.

First one going about... 2 1/2 hours.. second one about 15 minutes longer.. wide about an hour..

Argh! the moon just sucked up me comet.. gonna leave this overnight, see if it still goin.

Went about 15 hours, then i had to reboot

strange, mine lasted for just over 3 hours.... i really think that if it stayed that long the orbit should have been stable

guess nasa isnt gonna employ me any time soon
