Activision's Space Shuttle for the Atari 2600: A Journey into Space. They made a simulator with actual orbital mechanics, made with NASA's consultation no less, in 128 bytes of RAM. How are all those shuttle controls condensed into a one-button joystick plus the half-dozen console switches?

when you make shit up, it doesn't really matter.

did you know newtonian physics can only handle 2 planets in orbit.. introduce 3rd.. and it fails

what that means is their model for the planets involving gravity has never been proven.

gravity is so weak it can't be tested (how convenient!)

So...how about that Activision, eh? They sure made a bang-up product for such a limited machine. Wait a minute, I'm talking to a procedurally generated script that was triggered by the phrase 'orbital mechanics', aren't I?

nope. i tired of space idiots, doing my best to introduce reality to poor deluded corporate educated souls that are being lead further and further away from reality.

aside note, either you have never research flat earth, or are completely unaware that the only schills on this debate exist for ball earth .

the schills that exist as flat earthers are actually the FLAT EARTH SOCIETY which is the recognized group that is literally a SCHILL GROUP.

NASA is the counter schill group, now moved to elon musk (because a little business like his that is getting billion dollar contracts from nasa surely is just a common citizen!)
