I guess that's the same for all particle-system-writes.
IMHO it proves that you're really into it...

Ah well, it looks really interesting. I think you should
dampen the speed the particles pick up when colliding
a bit. In the end, the green "earth" sphere just paces out
of view, and I'd think that speed+mass calculations
would fit here. Gimme a sec...

Here's a formular for that:

v=(m1*v1+m2*v3) / (m1+m2)

Where v is the speed for the "earth", m1 and v1 mass and velocity
of first particle, and m2 and v2 smass and velocity of second
particle.
When using the velocities as 3D-Forces, and the mass as floats,
you should come up with a pretty physical reaction to collisions
for your sort of n-body-system.

Ask if something is unclear, and keep up the good work.

You're welcome!
