The problem is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:00when the capsule moves from an elliptical orbit to a parabolic orbit. There's no mathematical formula for that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:09[br]Because we can calculate launch and landing but without this conversion the capsule stays in orbit, we can't bring it back home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:18[br]Maybe we've been thinking about this all wrong.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:20[br]How's that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:26[br]Maybe it's not new math at all.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:30[br]It could be old math.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:32[br]Something that looks at the problem numerically and not theoretically. Math is always dependable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:39[br]For you it is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:47[br]Euler's method.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:49[br]Euler's method?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:50[br]Yes. That's ancient. But it works.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
00:54[br]It works numerically.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
01:31[br]That's it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
01:35[br]Let's type it up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
01:40[br]Huh.
