egg changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Гельфонд. 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

Al2Me6. — Just encountered a Principia crash while reentering. My service module was nearby, undergoing RUD... I suspect that that would be related. Logs are attached.

To easy answer the initial comment: any reasonably fast interstellar trip is so fast that no one cares about gravity assists aside from eggsploiting compact objects in close orbits

Uh, as best I'm aware there's some terminology on different regions of the oort cloud, but I don't know the details (wrong subfield etc)

egg. — (Not sure why anyone here thinks I am competent with those questions, this is squarely in the realm of astronomy and not even fundamentals of astronomy or numerical astronomy or something where I might know something. Raptop may be able to say useful things though.)

Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — We thought you could tell about the stability
<raptop>
long term stability is a hassle because you need to consider various stellar flybys and galactic tides
<raptop>
So your n-body simulation starts to look uncomfortably like molecular dynamics codes, possibly running a mix of short range and long range forces
<raptop>
IIRC
<raptop>
closer flybys with lower relative speeds and higher mass stars have more effect. I can't say anything useful directly, so would vaguely gesture at the literature. I'm not 100% sure what good serach terms are
