egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <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…
<queqiao-> ⟨Milly⟩ And just managed my first insertion of a comm and scan sat into equatorial circular lunar orbit 😄
<queqiao-> ⟨Milly⟩ Went a bit wonky when the engine flamed out on insertion into orbit, but recovered by using the RCS instead, fixing it over a few lunar orbits to circularise the orbit 🙂

<queqiao-> ⟨(ε, δ)⟩ Anyone got a good principia tutorial, like the basics
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ but it doesn't help with the Moon though
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ and this, obviously https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Concepts
<queqiao-> ⟨(ε, δ)⟩ 👍
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ Moon is broadly similar to non Principia, other than the Cape not having perfect alignment the whole time.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ So not similiar 🙂 , you don't launch into the plane of the moon as in stock but use other approaches
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ * similar
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ If you're at Korou then it's similar.
<queqiao-> ⟨Mayo⟩ I launch from kurou so its fine
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ In fact the interplanetary guide is also not very applicable in RSS, eyeballing transfers will not work, so it's just the basic concept.

<queqiao-> ⟨Mayo⟩ Eyeballing transfers is hard as fuck
<queqiao-> ⟨Mayo⟩ Unlike ksp where almost everything is fucking coplanar
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ Eyeballing Mercury would be madness.
<raptop> Getting liquid metal in your eyes would indeed be madness
<queqiao-> ⟨Soviet Onion⟩ ⟪raptop⟫ Getting liquid metal in your eyes would […] ⮪ ah, but Mercury is already liquid. So no burning 😏

<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ Went away for a week and the cat stopped eating because he missed me.
<queqiao-> ⟨Sumguy⟩ oof
<queqiao-> ⟨Sumguy⟩ did he at least drink? I suppose he'd be dead if he didn't...
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ Seems OK.
<raptop> eek
<queqiao-> ⟨Serina⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ Went away for a week and the cat […] ⮪ Might be odd to ask but outdoor cat?
<queqiao-> ⟨Butcher⟩ Nope
<queqiao-> ⟨Serina⟩ Huh, stress maybe.
