I've got one orbiting for about 4 mins now

it goes a little funky elliptical occasionally.. but I think the moon comes in and balances it out once in awhile

That's cool.

I had one doing figure 8's around the moon and the Earth for about 20 seconds.

I'm trying to get one orbiting the moon.

Hey, I got one going around the Earth. Working on over 6 minutes now.

Orbits naturally decay don't they? So if correct, it's bound to crash eventually.
