I understand orbital mechanics are well understood. I understand that setting trajectories is a well established science at this point.
But it still astounds me that we can do that.
I mean, I can't, as I learned from KSP. But real scientists can. Astounding.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI'd wager that if you can do it in KSP, you're understand this on a deeper basis than 99% of other folks in the world.
- accrual 3y agoI agree. KSP may not do all of the math (no n-body or gravitational abnormalities in the surface), but it does enough of it that you can get most of the way there fairly intuitively.
