Hey, Mike here, anything that you'd like me to hear?
Can you tell the owner to implement LaTex in the site?? Plz. LaTeX is a special type of Markup language that could be incorporated into javascript(by importing a library/package).

It really makes displaying equations easier so let's say I want to write the vis-viva equation to calculate required dV to transfer orbits,
ΔV=√GM[(2/r)-(1/a)]

LaTeX source code:
\Delta V = \sqrt{\mu \cdot (\frac{2}{r}-\frac{1}{a})}

Outputs:

Usually if the site doesn't support LaTeX, use Mathjax. Please look into this, it really makes ΔV calculations and Kepler's laws seem way neater.

Maybe I'll ask Jordi about it on Discord. No promises, though.
