This is a simulation of a rocket on Earth I did for a physics course. Obviously in real life the rocket wouldn't be this ginormous. The % markers show what percent of Earth's surface gravity is present at that height. Try to make the rocket orbit the Earth! You may find it helps to increase the Earth's gravity and the thrust.
Controls:
Up Arrow - Thrust
Left and Right Arrows - turn rocket
- - zoom out
+ - zoom in
R - reset simulation
Q - increase gravity of Earth
W - decrease gravity of Earth
A - increase thrust
S - decrease thrust
G - constant grav toggle
