The KSP equation

[Captain Sierra]

So, this is my take on part of what wastes so much of my time, which I turned into a math problem for humor.

Nighttime = sleepiness + free time

ALSO

Sleepiness + caffeine/sugar = ideas

WELL

Free time + ideas = progress made

THEREFORE

Progress made + KSP = flag planted/base complete/station built/SCIENCE!^TM done/etc.

Flag planted/base complete/station built/SCIENCE!^TM done/etc. + loss of sleep time = time well wasted

So, what's your KSP equation?

Anything you enjoy doing is not time wasted.

Rocket + boosters = explosions if no struts

Jeb + anything but explosions = happiness

Therefore jeb + struts = happiness

But boosters minus struts = death

Confusing yes

[Captain Sierra]

Rocket + boosters = explosions if no struts

Jeb + anything but explosions = happiness

Therefore jeb + struts = happiness

This is Jeb we are talking about right?

I think the second one would be a little more Jeb-like if it read: Jeb + Explosions + Excitement

Which would inadvertently rewrite the second one to be Jeb - struts = Happiness

LET IT BE THAT:

Progress leads to Success

Explosions are necessary for Progress

Explosions do not yield Science

Success does not result in Explosions

Science = Success

IF Success = Science

AND Explosions ≠ Success

THEN Explosions ≠ Science

IF Science ≠ Explosions

AND Explosions = Progress

AND Progress = Success

AND Success = Science

THEN Explosions = Science

Science = Explosions

AND Explosions ≠ Science

THEREFORE Science ≠ Science

...

I think I just broke my brain

Just to annoy people with SSTOs:

[Lar-E]

Ratio of time spent thinking about KSP to time spent playing KSP to time spent doing homework/reading/studying

3:2:1

Math, eh?

Well here's a favourite equation of mine: θ_phase=h[1-(r₁/2r₂+1/2)^3/2]

Where θ_phase is the phase angle for rendezvous, r₁ is the radius of the initial lower orbit, and r₂ is the radius of the higher target orbit. Assuming that both orbits are circular, and a single Hohmann transfer between them. 'h' is 180 degrees or pi radians, so that everything inside the bracket is unitless, or in terms of halves of a revolution. Note that it is entirely independent of what body you're orbiting, and only depends on the ratio of the radii of the two orbits.

liftoff!!!!

[OptimumAmoeba]

Suck + it + and + see + time = success .

Maths never was my strong point.
