Can't agree more, what a great site.
I got a question if anyone can answer it. At stages 4 & 5 the vessel was traveling about 27000 fps. Now at stage 6 it's only doing 6750 fps. It made it to about half way across the gap in 18 hours but the speed reduction means it will take 59 hours to travel the second half. Why has it slowed in frictionless space. I assume the ship itself used thrusters or something to drop some pace, but why.
