At this point engines have been shut off and are now in the coasting phase of the flight. It was at this point I had been informed the moon is just a jpg, but instead of turning back I kept going. It’s also not like i can turn back…. The f22 doesn’t have 377 miles of delta v left in it to turn around.
Well… we lost track of the moon and shot past it. The current image of the earth from 372,722 miles away.
if anyone knows how to turn around and cancel out 377 miles per minute of velocity with only 568kg of fuel left let me know this thing is only accelerating
the flight will probably come to an end tonight… it’s starting to act a bit funny, the altitude isnt counting very smoothly and it jumps around. something tells me this isnt a space sim
Imagine your looking out of your cockpit window and having this view. Think about seeing the earth, it’s incredible that normally, it takes hours to cross, but seconds to see all of it. Think about these hundreds of tiny planes flying around on earth. With your speed, they are getting smaller and smaller and smaller. and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and so on!
