   Analyze the trajectories for around-the-Earth missile launches.

   Simulates a ballistic missile trajectory and analyze the relationship
   between time of flight, initial velocity, initial flight path angle,
   maximum altitude.

   Simplifications made for this analysis:
     + Desired velocity is applied instantaneously -- no launch dynamics.
     + The rotation of the Earth is ignored
     + Atmospheric forces are ignored
