I was landing a probe on Ike when I got impatient and timewarped a little too far. I ended up slowing down to survivable speeds at less than 100 meters above the ground.
I have never done any math for ksp, and I'm not even sure how to use transfer windows. I just eyeball fuel amounts. Surprisingly the missions get where they're going most of the time.
The Kris Longknife series by Mike Shepherd is pretty good for Sci/fi. It actually gets into the (mostly realistic) technology and the author doesn't completely ignore orbital physics.
when you find yourself making a list of science fiction authors who don't completely ignore orbital mechanics. (I can count them on the fingers of one hand)
This challenge looks fun! I'm going to be landing an extremely large mining rover on the mun as soon as I build it.
Edit: I am now going to land an oversized rescue mission to rescue Shelster Kerman from the moon (his large mining rover exploded when it encountered the mun at 200 m/s)
