I'm not even sure what I'm doing it or why I'm doing it but I desire to not stop.
How the hell did I get a pet satellite to orbit me? <3

I have flown into hundreds of satellites and the moon, does that make me a winner? I believe it does! \o/
Probably needs a little work to really function as a game (like you say, a win condition).
"Bird destroyed!" - hahaha. Objective or not, I love oribiter style games (this is the best: http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk). Nice cloud of satellites :-) Found the moon, but I bounced right off.
400000km up, and I'm still getting 'Satellite Destroyed!' messages. Truly, my launch was a triumph.
Haha! A nice dadaist space simulator. That's a lot of satellites! Sad that I could not destroy the moon.
Hehe...we have more or less the same idea about using the space shuttles last flight! ;D Good job dude!
Not exactly 'fun', but certainly entertaining. Took me a while to get the hang of controls for precise movement.
Seemed kind of pointless drifting around there... so much effort to change your heading, why was there a 'fuel' limit on that? I would've liked to keep holding an arrow to continue to adjust my heading. I don't know. Fun to bash satellites around a bit, but with such slow control, it all felt really slow rather than the fun of smacking things around willy nilly.
Yay, moon destroyed! (By flinging a satellite at it?)
As you said it's more of a toy box than a game. At least I did reap 10000 points for the moon. Discovery going down in a blaze of glory!
This really needs more work to be a fun game, but despite that I played it for quite a while. The controls were quite intuitive.
Destroying the moon was awesome! After that I flew 200000 km into space (there's some weird graphical glitches up there, or maybe they're relativistic effects), then came back down and crashed into the Earth at nearly 4000 km/s. Mission: Success!
