raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fréchet. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <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… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

<discord->
Transparent_Elemental. — the PVG trick i'm used to seems to not work correctly this time, the inclination is way off

Transparent_Elemental. — could it be that it's just that time of 18 year cycle where i can not reach the moon at all?
<discord->
Transparent_Elemental. — the dV required to change the inclination and burn to the moon in one burn is just insane
<discord->
Butcher. — I found that late 50s / early 60s was a poor time for Lunar alignment. It's ±18 degrees off the equator.
