Today we're simulating gravity turns for reaching orbit. I created an even more realistic simulation of the Saturn 1B rocket and tried to find a way to get it into orbit before it runs out of fuel. As always there were plenty of problems to solve and things didn't work out exactly as I had planned, but this is still a great improvement over my last attempt.
