I don't know what their reasons are, but I do have a certain aversion to games that try to force social play in a certain way. E.g. when a board game forces you to be the traitor. I can totally see why people might want the rules of th

If the Moon just broke up and did not blow up, the piece might not have been given much momentum towards Earth. In such a case they would slowly spread out in a ring. Their orbits would be stable and would decay outwards ever so slowly, as

That assumes that we have enough RAM to hold all of the data we could ever want to analyse and that we have this data at startup. Neither of which has ever been the case as far as I have personally experienced.
