"If you miss, you end up among the stars."

OH DEAR LORD WE ARE OUT OF FUEL AND OXYGEN IT'S SO COLD SO COLD

You could fit every planet in the Solar System between Earth and our moon simultaneously.

Anyone who has played KSP knows that getting to the Mun is harder than it seems.

Orbital mechanics are a bitch.

Make sure to lead your shot. At Apollo velocities, you’ll need to aim where the moon will be at in three days, not where it is right now.

The moon takes up only around 0.00077% of the visible area of the sky. That's a pretty small target. A deviation of .52 degrees from any point on the moon you are aiming from earth will miss.

farked?

That’s like the pasties of censorship lol

Ya but the moon covers at best only about 10 ppm of the sky's area so given a random direction within the hemisphere defined by the sky in which the moon is visible and traveling in a straight line you have a roughly 99.9990% chance of missing so that's understandable really.

Spoken like someone that hasn't played Kerbal.

I thought i was gonna have an easy time aiming for yo mama,

But the joke is on me cause i miss her.

Aim for the ground, if you miss that, just give up

Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you're now in orbit, and that was almost certainly the goal anyway

It's moving pretty fast though.

Who are these people who cross out two letters of a cussword worried about? Everyone can still read this and all it does is make the edit look like someone is a pearl clutcher.

Yes you could have fucked this up more. You could have posted this censored bullshit on the Internet

It's moving 1 km/s, though.

Not as fucking up as much as posting censored memes. You can swear on Lemmy, it's allowed.

Oh my god I can still see the swear you tried to censor you satan worshipper! I'm so offended I dropped my body of christ into my tea!

The internet is for children ONLY, please take this FILTH back to your BBS, heathens!

No worries, we will loop back around using a slingshot maneuver, keep going until we get where we want to be. :)

If at first you don't succeed

Oh, that sounds like a challenge. I'ma build a rocket with turkey heat shields

That's why in KSP I use the space map and just keep adding DeltaV until the orbit line from my rocket to the mun is a straight line and I launch when the planet is right in front of me.
