[Video Tutorial] Easier Rendezvous & Docking

[Dizzle]

I previously made a pair of videos explaining rendezvous and docking. This one is much shorter and to-the-point than the last.

This is a nice presentation, but I'm puzzled by your method. If you'd already set a 0.6km closest approach, why stop and re-burn to approach at 10kms and 2kms?

Just to get there faster. For the video it ended up not mattering, because I wanted to do it in the daylight so it would look prettier, but generally I don't mind sacrificing a few units of fuel to pick up the pace a little. In fact, I don't think I've ever actually used the indicators. I've just gotten so used to doing it by hand. True or not, I feel like I have more control doing it this way.
