🪝 Orbital Tether Extraction: Skyhook Rendezvous (2D)
A real two-body-gravity skyhook simulation: a spinning orbital tether sweeps a bucket end down toward a suborbital capsule you launch. Time the launch to match position and velocity for capture, then release to boost the capsule into a higher orbit.
