Hey guys, do you think this could be a useful tool to understand the basics of orbital mechanics for an university exam?

UmbralRaptor: thoughts on gigas's question?
<GH>
[Principia] eggrobin opened pull request #1585: Ignore vessels that touch the ground or might fall underground, remove altitude thresholds (rotating-world...reunification-point-5) https://git.io/vd4mx
<gigas>
What's your thought, @UmbralRaptor?
<bees>
the basics of orbital mechanics are covered by KSP itself, this is advanced orbital mechanics (imho)

gigas: n-body isn't really basic, unless n ≤ 2.
<gigas>
Yeah, I mean, ksp covers the 2 bodies problem, principia gets to the n>2 bodies
<gigas>
Which is pretty much the real case
<gigas>
Are there any approximations that I should be aware of?
<UmbralRaptor>
Principia gets the precession of Mercury's orbit wrong by ~43"/century.
<gigas>
Sounds good to me
<gigas>
So like it does not account for general relativity?
<UmbralRaptor>
Right.
<gigas>
Alright, I'm fine with that, thanks a lot!
