Thta's an interesting point, and something I thought a lot about while I was doing this. Basically, this simulator just cares about the physics of it, but not resources (Fuel, oxygen, etc). I did it exactly that way, first rotation then translation. The 2nd fail it took me so long that in the 3rd (and successful) run I just hit the metal after getting the rotation correctly. Side note, it's much easier to get the rotation right first and then moving the ship. It was fun, thought.
