I suppose it all seems very serious sometimes - Scientists in white lab coats talking about gravity, trajectories and orbits. Where is the fun in that? It is pretty serious when you are hurtling millions of dollars into space and hoping to use the gravity of other planets to "slingshot" you to where you want to go as they did with the Gallileo and Cassini probes. Luckily someone has thought up a fun way of showing the theory behind it!
BigIdeaFUN.com has a game on their Penguins Arcade called Spaced Penguin! As it says on the web site - "Kevin took a wrong turn and ended up lost in space. Use the highly advanced GPS (Giant Penguin Slingshot) to launch him back to the ship! "
Have fun!
