Love this. I managed to get a pretty stable orbit by using the right angle and velocity (by chance). Highlighted in yellow: http://i.imgur.com/OOaTLMP.png

This is the coolest trajectory found on this thread for now!!!!
It ran for several hours like that and never deviated from the original "circular" path. Unlike the other attempts, which were all much more elliptical. I guess that's kind of how planets would stay in a stable orbit though, having the right distance and speed for their mass.
