Sorry for the confusion... There are 2 things to making a hole in a suit:
- Place on the suit aka direction of thrust. For example if you click your mouse on the same line with astronaut but higher then him, you will punch a hole that will create a thrust towards bottom the screen. But it will not guarantee that astronaut will move that way because gravitational forces are much stronger then thrust of air. So in most cases right solution is either to speed up by giving yourself push in the same direction orbit takes you already or slow down having thrust in opposite direction... That is how orbits work :)
- Other thing is 'when' do you punch a hole, since on different stages of the orbit you have different speed and velocity direction, sometimes(and I was building puzzles in a way it almost always true) its smarter to wait on the orbit for a optimal launch window.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed game regardless of this confusion
