Solar Sail application thingy
Uses newton's second law and euler's method of integration to solve.
CONTROLS
left/right - rotate sail
up/down - change sail area
q - toggle sail orbit lock (doesnt work very well)
w - teleport back to start, useful if you fuck up and end up in deep space
e - fold/unfold sail
r - pause
VECTORS
red vector - gravitational acceleration
orange vector - light pressure acceleration
blue vector - velocity
