raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Gateaux. We currently target 1.8.1, 1.9.1, and 1.10.1. <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… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

FabioKevin. — Burning due east would be retrograde, right?
<discord->
FabioKevin. — @Stonesmile Hey, is burning due east supposed to be retrograde?
<discord->
Stonesmile. — What is meant is you launch into a 'normal' orbit, with as low of an inclination as you can get at the launch site
<discord->
FabioKevin. — Ok, but since I am at this 20 degrees inclination, what am I supposed to do?
<discord->
Stonesmile. — When you are in orbit you raise the Ap at a time such that it intersects the target orbit; this is done at either the AN or DN
<discord->
FabioKevin. — Ok, but how do I stop my craft from spinning everywhere when in orbit and doing time-warp?

Stonesmile. — If you spin it about one axis it wont spin about the others (assuming symmetry)
<discord->
Stonesmile. — You can also just fix the orientation when you have warped instead of before

FabioKevin. — Hey, is it normal for there to be so many periapsis points at the same time?
<discord->
FabioKevin. — Nevermind, need to do at AN or DN
<raptop>
multiple periapses/apoapses sometimes happen because n ≥ makes a mockery of kepler

egg. — @FabioKevin I should note that ultimately « get into this orbits » contracts are fundamentally nonsensical with Principia; see also @Sir Mortimer’s comments on the matter : https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/162200-wip181-191-1101-principia%E2%80%94version-gauss-released-2020-10-16%E2%80%94n-body-and-extended-body-gravitation-axial-tilt/&do=findComment&comment=3789232

[Principia] rnlahaye 1a56650 - Changed ancestry_ to an InlinedVector. Previously it was a deque. This change elides allocations in most cases. Note that as part of the change, the direction of ancestry was reversed (i.e. front and back have been swapped). This is only a notational change and has no effect.
