then played with hundreds (thousands) of values for the gravitational constant
and tweaks to the starting velocity.

The problem is that instead of calculating the force every "infitesimal"
second, I'd set it up to do say every 10 weeks, 10 days, 10 hours, 10 secs or

model that system by only applying the force at every *HUNDREDTH SECOND*
instead of CONSTANTLY, then the direction of the force isn't going to be


into was being forced into one of these choices:


seeing how well Jupiter protects it.


But I'm intrigued that there could be some kind of "field effect" solution that
