Satellites!

i like doing the shotgun effect....

fire off as many as possible in both directions and see how many survive to make orbits :D

I have about 20 zipping round earth for 5 mins or so

I noticed that if you put several satellites close to eachothers they throw eachothers off course.

I had one for 5 minutes in low orbit, running in almost perfect round orbit untill I put a second one close to it. They both collapsed in a few seconds.
