As promised - here's the link to the game that we played at the end of science today:

Remember - both the earth's and the moon's gravity will attract the rocket. The earth's gravity is SIX TIMES STRONGER than that of the moon (or looking at it another way, the moon's gravity is one sixth that of earth).
You must use the gravitational forces as well as the strength and direction of the rocket's thrust (push force) to dock with the space station.
Good luck!
