5:45:19big stage with a swivel under it to get to orbit
5:45:26yeah but you are using the moons gravity to assist you wont be using much delta-V
5:45:29change your calculation m/s to vacuum to see the real value of it. gravity does most of it
5:45:34check what lunar free return trajectory is
5:45:41lining up the maneuver is hard especially without a maneuver node
5:45:43I actually use radial liquid tanks and engines, but not sure if you want that.
5:45:44after you've done your mun insertion burn you've gone nothing to ideally
5:45:44its just a fly-by so you don't even need to orbit the moon
5:45:49you will need to plan a Hohman transfer
5:45:51"We choose to go to the Moon and do the other thing, not because it is easy, but because we wanna watch the one guy blow up trying to get there"
5:45:53no. you just need enough to reach the muns distance if your not orbiting
5:45:54we don't need to orbit the moon
5:45:55you can make it bigger but other stages also need to be bigger too
5:46:00Why don't we missile strike the moon? Teach it a lesson
5:46:15apollo 13 had a free return trajecotry
5:46:19we can go see your anas plant to
5:46:19"oops we slingshotted the one guy into the sun"
5:46:20if you hit the moon on the left side you will eject retrograde to get free slow down
5:46:23if its just a slingshot, you dont really need any fuel on this stage at all
5:46:24Pls teach us professor shiina
5:46:25The tech you have is enough to do a landing FYI
5:46:27it's hard to eyeball a free return trajectory
