The object of the game is for each player to complete as many orbits around the earth as possible without stopping on the space that sends the capsule back to earth. Each player has a coloured space capsule and with the use of a spinner can send their capsule into orbit. During play the player may lose of gain a turn, advance their orbit or maybe returned to earth. If returned to earth the player still retains the number of orbits that was completed. The player can then return to orbit on the correct spin. The game is played for a predetermined time, or go back into orbit a predetermined number of times. The player with the most orbits is the winner. —user summary
