Abstract
I give an overview of aspects of gravitation that we think we understand and others where this is not the case. The latter include the Pioneer anomaly and the flyby anomaly. The latter is discussed in a bit more detail, which includes preliminary results from some own simulations.
This is an updated version of my ANGLES talk.
