| The newly established and totally needed "space force" is in a precarious situation. There newly established space station is under threat of an asteroid hitting it. A renowned scientist, David Lightman, approaches you to solve the problem and tells you that there is a defunct Earth defense floating space station that is very far from Earth which can be hacked into. You have been tasked with operating this projectile defense system (PDS for short). PDS has the ability to launch defense projectiles from the space station headquarters (positioned at the center of the space station) to divert incoming attack projectiles (asteroids heading for the space station). **Before the first firing of a projectile from the defense system, Dr. Lightman would like to see a simulation showing how the incoming attack projectile's motion can be changed by the defense projectile to be sure that you can be trusted with the PDS.** | The newly established and totally needed "space force" is in a precarious situation.
