If you'd like to play a game where you get to manage this kind of thing, Kerbal Space program is a blast. Obviously, in real life, the gravity never goes away completely, and the fact that it decays at 1/r 2 means that it takes a long distance before stable orbital velocities become small. Space Engineers "cheats" in the name of fun so that once you get to a certain distance, the gravity goes to exactly zero, so you can "hover" at a distance from a planet. The fact that Space Engineers' planets are smaller with the same mass makes things worse, since when orbiting a body with a given mass, having a smaller orbital radius necessitates an even faster speed in order to achieve a stable orbit. The Moon orbits the Earth at around 1,000 m/s, and the Earth orbits the Sun at around 30,000 m/s. For example, real-life low earth orbit is around 7,000 m/s. Space Engineers' speed limit of around 100 m/s makes actual stable orbits difficult or impossible.
