⟨November (she/her)⟩ How long does a lunar transfer usually take? I'm going for an impactor, so it's one way
<raptop>
What sort of transfer? a Hohmann-ish one would be like 5.2 days
<queqiao->
⟨November (she/her)⟩ That should work. It doesn't need to be super precise, I'm just trying to figure out how much EC my probe needs
<queqiao->
⟨ærcian⟩ is there anything special i need to install/do to have principia work with ro
<queqiao->
⟨November (she/her)⟩ ⟪ærcian⟫ is there anything special i need to […] ⮪ Nope, just a standard Principia install (and don't forget that some features will require the tracking station upgrade)
<queqiao->
⟨November (she/her)⟩ Oh, and starting from Kourou is highly recommended
<queqiao->
⟨ærcian⟩ kourou?
<queqiao->
⟨November (she/her)⟩ It's a launch site in French Guyana that is very close to the equator
<queqiao->
⟨ærcian⟩ ah
<queqiao->
⟨ærcian⟩ ⟪November (she/her)⟫ Nope, just a standard Principia install […] ⮪ hope this works this time since the last time i loaded principia with ro my gpu killed itself 🙏
<queqiao->
⟨November (she/her)⟩ Oh, and one last thing, Butcher's lunar transfer planner mod is even more useful with Principia
<raptop>
Yeah, seconding Kourou. And if you don't want that, then go with that one site in India. Don't be a Florida Man
<queqiao->
⟨Zavian⟩ Baikonur
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ there's the option to "show only pinned markers"
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ how do i pin markers?
<queqiao->
⟨the rocket science kid⟩ This is principia, I don't think that works here
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪the rocket science kid⟫ This is principia, I don't think that […] ⮪ It works if you are close enough to the equator. The whole lunar orbit plane thing isn’t really a Principia issue, it is basic geometry. The only reason why it only shows up with Principia is that stock RSS puts the moon at its highest inclination to make life easier for players in Florida.
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ Florida: man moves moon around to make life there easier

⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ ⟪egg⟫ It works if you are close enough to the […] ⮪ so if it's the highest inclination it should be accessible once per month(?) instead of twice a day or whatever it is without principia
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ or am i misunderstanding the issue?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ the cycle is 18 years
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ ouch
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ that's a lot of time warp
<queqiao->
⟨EMPERORINTERNET⟩ how often do you get a "reasonable" inclination?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ every 18 years. how _long_ you get it depends on your concept of reasonable
