"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
-
"Among the stars" might suggest it's very much not cold. You're in a stellar nursery.
-
I had a manager tells me this once. It was literally written on the mug he was drinking out of at the time. I remember feeling so valued and inspired.
-
You could fit every planet in the Solar System between Earth and our moon simultaneously.
-
Fuck you for making me look this up. Only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would fit together. Venus, Mars, and Mercury are too much.
-
Depends on which part of the orbit. Perigee (closest point) is ~ 354,491 km surface to surface. Apogee (farthest point) is ~ 397,291 km surface to surface. At Apogee you could got them all. At perigee not at all.

I think our oceans would leave earth, tide-wise speaking
-
Please don't.
-
I bet I could miss those, too.
-
I could? I think you overestimate my power.
-
Anyone who has played KSP knows that getting to the Mun is harder than it seems.
Orbital mechanics are a removed.
-
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.
-
And begging your pardon sir, it's a big ass sky.
-
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.
-
Don't get me started about inclinations
-
-
That’s like the pasties of censorship lol
-
Spoken like someone that hasn't played Kerbal.
-
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.
-
It's typically for posting to platforms that "deprioritise" posts that contain "naughty" words, not actually anything about humans caring about it.
-
What do you mean? What cuss word? What does it say?!?
-
Butthole. It says butthole.
-
-
Same reason that people bleep out two nanoseconds of the word in audio
-
-
Actually it makes more sense to state the moons solid angle in the sky from where I'm standing, instead of its diameter ☝️🤓
-
Hold me and never let me go, you insatiable nerd.
-
-
Yes you could have fucked this up more. You could have posted this censored bullshit on the Internet
-
I thought i was gonna have an easy time aiming for yo mama,
But the joke is on me cause i miss her.
-
Nice
-
-
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!
-
I was promised some fucking filth -
It's ok. He then knew "hell" was literally the sun. Keep looking at it and you'll "see" God too.
-
-
Not as fucking up as much as posting censored memes. You can swear on Lemmy, it's allowed.
-
Aim for the ground, if you miss that, just give up
-
If you throw yourself at the ground and miss, you're flying.
-
And the next night, try doing it again with Sony Walkmen.
-
-
Disagreed. If you miss, take advantage and continue missing
-
-
Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you're now in orbit, and that was almost certainly the goal anyway
-
Plot twist, it’s elliptical.
-
That assumes we don't blow up or get the death shimmy on the way up
-
There are a lot of ways to shoot for the moon that don't end with anything close to an orbit. Though it's pretty hard to get out of orbiting the sun from here...
-
Yeah, but if you're actually aiming for the moon and miss, an orbit is pretty likely. It may not be a good orbit, but consider that you're most likely to miss because the moon has precessed in its orbit during your transit further than you expected, meaning that you'll end up coming around the back of the moon and captured by its gravity.

-
It's moving 1 km/s, though.
-
No worries, we will loop back around using a slingshot maneuver, keep going until we get where we want to be. :)
-
It's moving pretty fast though.
-
That's relative.
-
Relative is the only fast that matters
-
-
-
Nuh uh. I measured it just now, put my trusty ruler in front of my face and measured only 2 CM!
-
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.
that's fucked
I am having trouble reading that. For anyone else struggling:

Jacks why so aggressive. Need a sabbatical?
