The motion isn’t deterministic if free will exists. Launching a rocket into space decreases earth’s rotation speed ever so slightly, which will have a small impact on the moon’s trajectory due to tidal interactions, and so on.

Please define 'free will' before using it in a sentence about determinism.

If that was a requirement, discussions of determinism would sound awfully one-sided. ;p

There are those who believe determinism is not only compatible with free will, but required for free will.
