Those details are so insignificant and easily overshadowed by things like slight imprecisions in the initial burn that it would make no sense to even bother calculating them.

I agree with @baconcat, going to the Moon does not require such complex calculations. You can even get there by using KSP math (patched conics approach, calculating the spacecraft's trajectory as if it was affected by only 1 celestial body at a time) and still get pretty decent results.

So this is where the "Title Card" will presumably start or should I say the start of the real journey perhaps. Anyways, I'm going to be interested in this character named "Princess" (Presumably Kaguya) because of her connects to a certain legend in Japanese Culture. Thou the story might take a turn for us if it may follow the story that happens in the Kaguya legend I can only say we are in for a treat. And by treat I meant it as a Threat because I'm maybe gonna cry.

Lol Nasa's programing skill are now being
considered as equal to an isekai cheat skill.

@4V29LN0n Not exactly, this is not for educational purpose so you can have a character write completely gibberish and claim that is how time travel work and nobody can say otherwise because it is fictional.

@Kirime True considering they managed to calculate the 1969 moon landing using computers than is less powerful than a ordinary smartphone.

@Jeirien Electronic computers of the Apollo Era weren't capable of reliably calculating spaceflight trajectories. As detailed in the incredible movie Hidden Figures, "computers" back then referred to actual people (usually women) with advanced skills in mathematics. The calculations for the Apollo missions were done entirely by hand, and only once solved, were the solutions then developed into programs for the onboard electronic computers to run.

I highly recommend watching the movie if you get the chance!

Can anyone get the "story summary so far" from this week's edition ? It's just the random nonsense, but the wall of text is longer so the editorial squished the text and made it hard to read.
Scanlation version omits that and the character comments section

@Bukubuku : the original Japanese edition got a lot of things going at the page margin. It has "story summary" (more like random talk) and character introduction (more like when variety show ask passerby on street for comments on certain topic). Scanlated version cut them off.
This week's edition is more cramped and hard to read

Its a bit more than just that. Sure that formula is in there somewhere, but you also have to calculate weather conditions, approach velocity, when, how intense, which direction and for how long, to burn thrusters/stabilizers, when to angle the trajectory durring your escape, when to launch, how much distance there will be, how much fuel, rations, other resources are needed, what angle to approach the moon/earth at to enter/exit a geo-syncrisis orbit which will line you up best with the destination, etc...
