1530.3km (it says on the screen).




No, I really don't think I will. Letting the game run for several days with no inputs is pretty boring

just spam lots of boosters and pack lots of fuel so that you get to the moon asap

I could spam boosters I could
But why? Why would you do that why would you do any of that?
No I'm not going to do that since I want to try and estimate how long it takes in SFS with out time warp

thats fairly easy to do using maths tho... if going to the moon irl takes around 3 days, and on sfs the solar system is uhh... how much...? 15th of the size? idk. but you could do some maths and calculate the time...

The idea is far from being silly. The Apollo missions did that too. In real life a Hohmann transfer to the Moon would make the trip last 5 days. They reduced it to 3. 2 days less to go to the Moon and same thing to come back, that saves 4 days overall. That's less oxygen, less food... that must be brought. And that allowed the free return trajectory that saved Apollo 13 too.

By the way, your trajectory to go to the Moon is far from being optimal: the apoapsis is above Moon level, and you only encounter the Moon in the descending part of the trajectory. This will take a lot of extra time. It would have been wiser to wait in LEO for the ideal transfer. A revolution around Earth in LEO only lasts 20 minutes. Believe me, it's worth it. Maybe you won't want to restart, and the choice is up to you anyway, but I prefer to tell you... :rolleyes:

It's not that simple, durations are not proportional to scale. The scale is 1:20, but the speeds implied are much lower too. I've calculated it for a Hohmann transfer, it would last 27 hours, plus 4 hours once you enter the Moon SOI to get to the Moon periapsis. Now it also depends on the transfer.

They way I did it I used the Apollo way I waited for the moon be in the correct position then I launched and waited for the perfect orbit to perform the TLI I've been in on the way to the moon for about 6 hours now

The S-IVB is still on a collision course with Jupiter I've adjusted it's target impact zone with the south east side of Jupiter
