Observe the effect of changing speed on the ship's orbit. Try the following:

• Put it into an elliptical orbit that takes it further from earth.
• Put it into an elliptical orbit that takes it closer to earth.
• Move it to a new circular orbit further from earth.

Use the keyboard up/down keys or touch/click the buttons to change the ship's speed.
