<queqiao-> ⟨S​paceman Spiff⟩ definitely a cat, ask no questions
<UmbralRaptop> Dogs are cats, just ask egg
<queqiao-> ⟨B​utcher⟩ I can't believe you said he wasn't chonk.
<queqiao-> ⟨Z​eusbeer⟩ no not chonk enough
<raptop> that cat appears to be living their best life
<queqiao-> ⟨P​HATSAUCE⟩ About as chonker as they get
<raptop> caaats
<queqiao-> ⟨S​umguy⟩ The channel description should just say “Cats”.
<queqiao-> ⟨B​utcher⟩ Very much so.
<raptop> The time to worry is if Principia release names start looking like old OSX release names
<queqiao-> ⟨e​gg⟩ @Caravans of Rockets (He/Him) re. your question I have no idea what an offplane transfer is, but googling that yields only the Orbiter forums so I’m not sure this is particularly common terminology
<queqiao-> ⟨S​paceman Spiff⟩ name them after cat breeds! Seems to be the majority of what this channel is used for 😁
<raptop> egg: It's entirely possible that it's not a formal term since integrated circuits (barely) predate interplanetary spaceflight
<raptop> As an informal term, it's what it sounds like

<queqiao-> ⟨A​l2Me6⟩ I'm under the impression that 'offplane transfer' refers to transferring to the Moon from a high-inclination orbit/launch site (ex. Baikonur).

<queqiao-> ⟨B​utcher⟩ Why would you do that "offplane", whatever that means?
<queqiao-> ⟨l​pg⟩ I would guess "offplane" just trivially means "not launching into the target's plane"
<raptop> yep
<raptop> eg: in stock KSP, doing an offplane intercept of Minmus is nice for being lazy about your ascent.
<queqiao-> ⟨l​pg⟩ (not going to try guessing what "ejection inclination" is referring to in that context, though)
<raptop> And in RSS, well, getting the plane correct is notably difficult from KSC and impossible from Baikonur without burning eggcessive amounts of Δv

<queqiao-> ⟨e​gg⟩ huh, I don’t recall seeing a cat use a pillow before
<queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ They seem to prefer legs, arms, and laps as pillows
