Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be looking into it.

What level is the course at? What are the prereqs, if any?

If you provide more info in the OP, this will probably get a LOT more interest and discussion...

It's in the link, basic HS physics and some calculus. Course looks interesting, albeit a bit basic for an experienced KSP player.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I pretty much learned the basic orbital dynamics thanks to KSP. However, it would be cool to study the real maths and physics behind them explained by the first man to log 1000 hours on a space shuttle! I'll definitely be following the course if I find the time.
