⟨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 🙂

⟨(ε, δ)⟩ Anyone got a good principia tutorial, like the basics
<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.

⟨Mayo⟩ Eyeballing transfers is hard as fuck
<queqiao->
⟨Mayo⟩ Unlike ksp where almost everything is fucking coplanar

⟨Butcher⟩ Eyeballing Mercury would be madness.

Getting liquid metal in your eyes would indeed be madness
