This is probably the basis of a new question. Would the 2nd stage fit in his upcoming rocket, would there be enough fuel to land it on Mars, and could a 2nd rocket bring the crane to take it out of the first rocket and set it down.
I also found the controls a little less than intuitive for an outside user.
good software comes from having independent testers who know nothing about what's under the hood. That way they can be ruthless in their criticism and won't make allowances
As a real-world example, the Space Shuttle used a combination of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Rate Gyro Assemblies (RGAs). The IMUs sensed accelerations and the RGAs measured body rates.
The IMUs were mounted on a navigation base in the crew compartment. The RGAs were mounted in the mi...

@kimholder We've ported the poliastro Lambert solver to JavaScript and yesterday, actually, we ironed out the last major blocker that was stopping us from releasing the first iteration of space flight in HOS.
Right now it's impulse based, and there will always be an impulse based version for people that don't want to get into the nitty gritty of space flight, but the next step after this deploy will be to introduce the tyranny of the rocket equation, attitude control and some other features that will make things more realistic.
Besides that, improving the graphics is the overriding priority... Introducing a model of the lunar gateway, cockpits that are somewhat realistic for the vehicles and so on
At the end of the day I have to be honest, though... There's no overriding plan... It's just a for the fun of it project :D
Oh, you're the person behind Moonwards
Really cool project; maybe we can find some overlap and collaborate in one way or another.
