totally off-topic but try this cool game.
1. try to put a satellite in orbit
2. Stable orbit
3. Stable, non-wildly elliptical orbit.
Harder than it looks.
Watch out for that stupid moon."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

Remember you can control the direction and (to some extent) the velocity of your sats.
there seem to be three 'sweet spots'
high velocity release right near earth can result in a tight, fast circular orbit.
low velocity release right between earth-moon. Tends to break down because of the moon.
low velocity circle out side earth moon, with the moon always on the other side so it won't pull you."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

At last!
4 1/2 stable roughly circular ...make that 4 stable orbits."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

I'm proud of this last one, really close and circular.
Not decaying at all.
the moon keeps trying to slightshot one of mine into the void."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"

6, but it's a crappy erratic.
erratics eventually crash or get slingshotted by the moon."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"
