 ====== Project 3: Part 3: Acceleration Due to Gravity ======
-Unbeknownst to the rest of Earth, Carver's space program is ultimately more advanced than anyone could imagine and he has established a space station that is in orbit around Pluto. In order to complete some important repairs of the space station, you have been tasked with finding out the acceleration due to gravity on the space station at the furthest point away from Pluto on the space station. The radius of the space station is 238 meters and its mass is 5 * 10^15. The space station is a radius of 6.2 * 10^6 from Pluto. Find the acceleration due to gravity at the furthest point from Pluto on the space station.

+====== Project 3: Part 4: Space Jam ======
+Dennis Rodman is the Pluto space station goodwill ambassador. While he is on the space station he insists on continuing to practice his basketball skills. He is shooting from the halfway line but is having trouble due to the forces on the space station. He asks you what angle he should be shooting at if is typical shot pushes off with a force of 8.2 N?
