PyWeek - T minus 33 minutes, switching to auto launch sequence

With the server doing its usual hour-before-deadline molasses simulation, this will probably be my final final submission.

I'm quite pleased with what I've been able to accomplish. Almost all the elements of my initial vision are there, at least in rudimentary form. Mostly all it needs now is some expansion and refinement.

The one major thing it's badly in need of is some aids for carrying out various orbital mechanics calculations. As it is, it's easy to spend a lot of time randomly trying out different launch parameters and not accomplishing much. That's not the way it's done in real life, and it shouldn't be like that in this game, either!
