UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fano. We currently target 1.3.1, 1.4.x, 1.5.1, and 1.6.1. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

Sir Mortimer. — @Phineas Freak i guess he just wants a preset that’s wrong all the time except the 60s
<UmbralRaptop>
Phineas Freak: Stock gravity is, uh, very simplified. See the SOI thing and conics.
<UmbralRaptop>
But both Earth and Sun gravity have significant effects on the Moon's orbit.
<UmbralRaptop>
Not sure which is the largest effect over the time period. Nutation?

Sir Mortimer. — I don't see why he needs the moon to be in the exact same position as it was in the 60s
<discord-_>
Phineas Freak. — My first guess was because of the 50th Apollo anniversary. That would be much more accurate if someone was to use Principia...
<discord-_>
Phineas Freak. — Also, the inaccuracy of the celestial body positions is known since the dawn of RSS (almost): https://youtu.be/KoJrIPz6fPE?t=523

egg. — @Phineas Freak @RaiderNick you could do something to help with the phases of the moon, if that is something you care about; the rest is a lost cause.
<discord-_>
egg. — (see my latest reply to that issue)
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — you had me at `there are 3.43 years between the Apollo 11 launch and the Apollo 17 splashdown`
<discord-_>
egg. — @Sir Mortimer did I get the dates wrong?
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — no, it was the 3.43 years that i liked about that :)
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — great post btw
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — i'll now go google to find out what it actually means 😄
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — i think that post killed all illusions regarding accuracy of anything regarding celestial body positions and orientations.
<discord-_>
egg. — precession is a thing

egg. — it's way more of a thing that people tend to think

egg. — nice!

Sir Mortimer. — damn i forgot to add the magnetopause
<discord-_>
egg. — @Sir Mortimer you should try putting some on a tilted planet other than the home planet with Principia, to check that it works with tilt
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — (it stays fixed, oriented towards the sun)
<discord-_>
Damien. — @Sir Mortimer is there an 'in belt' situation?
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — yeah that's why i was asking how to tilt something in stock with kopernikus without having to install RSS
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — load times with RSS are not acceptable for testing stuff during development
<discord-_>
egg. — did you see my reply?
<discord-_>
egg. — it's easy
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — huh?
<discord-_>
egg. — > i was asking how to tilt something in stock with kopernikus
<discord-_>
egg. — I replied to that
<discord-_>
egg. — a couple of times
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — @Damien i had an in belt situation, but it conflicts with "in space high" so it's removed for now
<discord-_>
Damien. — Ok
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — sorry egg didn't get that
<discord-_>
egg. — okay lemme dig through the backlog a bit
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — that's what you get from looking at discord on a mobile device a lot
<discord-_>
egg. — @Sir Mortimer ^ that will give you a tilted duna (you need retrobop so the Jool system doesn't blow up, we only apply it to a true stock solar system so as soon as you have a `principia_gravity_model` you have to do it yourself, e.g. in Kopernicus)
<discord-_>
Sir Mortimer. — okay

RO Bot. — Power is some amount of energy over time. A battery discharging its X Joules of energy will produce Y Watts of power over (X/Y) seconds.
