- Thread starter Urbandale2013

Yes, TLI will send us around the moon as well as set up end of mission entry interface and splash down
NASA upper management is GO for TLI burn.
Note: Still need a go from the on-counsel team of flight controllers closer to burn time.

The fact that the universe moves around along conic sections that can be perfectly drawn out with simple quadratic equations is unsane. If you wanted to talk me into "intelligent design" this would be a good place to start.
The fact we did it 50+ years ago with slide rules and a 'computer' that couldn't compete with a 1990s graphing calculator is maybe the greatest achievement in human history.
Also, if you are really enjoying this, I highly recommend "Kerbal Space Program".
It's about as realistic as you can get without being an actual NASA simulation, yet still playable.

I remember the first landing on the moon in July of ‘69. Came home from a little league baseball game and the whole family watched it on TV (black & white).
Unfortunately I don't. I was still working on not shitting my drawers. I do remember playing with the Command Module and LEM models my older brothers had later.
I came up after the moon landing but still in that phase where space exploration was still everywhere
Then we decided to build a spacecraft with two rockets that had to fire precisely at the same time and had heat shield issues. This after years and years of delays.

I wish they had someone explaining this and better/actual visuals. I have it on, but no idea what is actually going on.
I remember being in a row boat a few hundred feet from shore with my dad at the Ozarks in July of 69 and mom running down to the dock screaming at us both to run back to the cabin to watch TV because they're about to step foot on the moon.
I was a mesmerized young kid watching a black and white TV. One of those events where you remember exactly where you were when it happened.
