E. Lunar Lander

We will make a project in which an image (a real photo of the Apollo 11 lander that first carried humans to the moon) 'flies' realistically, being pulled down by the moon's gravity and pushed up and sideways by rocket thrusters (you can see the finished simulation at the bottom of this page). Ultimately we will extend the program until we can carefully land the lander on a special 'landing pad'. Please do all the steps and don't just jump to the end - you will learn much more if you don't skip anything!
