<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ which side of (a)?
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ theres a difference ?
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ one seems slightly bigger than the other ?
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ The Sun is to the left
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ ah, my eyes have deceived me
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪Soviet Onion⟫ one seems slightly bigger than the […] ⮪ probably, since the dynamics are different on account of the sun being one way or the other
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ oh yeah
<queqiao-> the left one kind of hugs lunar orbit at the end more than the one on the right
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ah, you said L1, so left
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ L1 is around 1500Gm out, right ?
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ It would be interesting to look at the potentials for these things…
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪sichelgaita⟫ equipotentials.gif ⮪ (see also 👆)
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ ⟪egg⟫ (see also 👆) ⮪ pretty cool plot. L4 and L5 moving is interesting too 🤔
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ Can you have leading spaces which can […] ⮪ Looks like I am doing that
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ truly embracing the tax form æsthetic
<queqiao-> ⟨quadub⟩ Can I ask a stupid question? How to build a maneuver to another planet? It turned out to be somewhat more difficult than with the Moon ... (well, or Transfer Window Planner lied to me).
<queqiao-> p.s. I use a translator
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ rsparkyc wrote a guide; the UI is a bit out of date in the screenshots, but it should still be useful: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/A-guide-to-performing-an-interplanetary-flyby-and-return-with-Principia
<queqiao-> ⟨rsparkyc⟩ Huh, that was one year and one day ago
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ Huh, I had not realized the new reference frame selector was that recent
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ Haar, September 2021
<queqiao-> ⟨quadub⟩ Thanks
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ ⟪egg⟫ truly embracing the tax form æsthetic ⮪ Hurrah.
<queqiao-> Now to enable this manoeuvre please submit form 6B/2 and wait 6-8 weeks
<queqiao-> ⟨Stonesmile⟩ For the +- orbit buttons; does it say how far into the furute/past it will shift the time before pushing the button?
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ slight technical diffuculty doomed my ballistic lunar transfer
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ note: i did not order my probe this small
<queqiao-> ⟨ProtonEnjoyer⟩ and you'd not order an antenna this big too?
<queqiao-> ⟨pEdro⟩ the antenna is fine, just the probe body got schrunk down to like 10% size
<queqiao-> ⟨Stonesmile⟩ Might want to mention it in #pap-part-mods if it is caused by an update to ROT
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ ⟪Stonesmile⟫ For the +- orbit buttons; does it say […] ⮪ No, but I could add that.
<queqiao-> ⟨Stonesmile⟩ My first thought for a use case is to be sure that it uses the "orbit" that you think it is
