So, I’m minding my own buisness, plotting my burn to Eve, and then the Mün ruins it! But, instead of pressing, “skip orbit” I rearranged it to be a gravity boost not break, then held retrograde, and voíla! An Eve encounter, for an entire 30 less DeltaV! But, that 30 deltaV means (I think) I can crash my booster into Eve, and not leave it in an elliptical solar orbit.

(I say Mün because It makes the mün smile!)
