He explained it better than the tutorial did for me. Honestly good shit man

THX! so easy XD

i cant believe peter griffin is teaching me astrophysics

im not a dummie

There is a learning curve for KSP that must be learned before you can be considered a dummy. Once you've graduated to being a dummy, this video will be for you. Retrograde is a pointed direction based on vector, not an assumption of relative speed.

I feel like this is not giving enough explanation, even though it is "for dummies". What makes it hard to understand is the "if it's like this then you do this" mentality.

The question is "why do I click on this point now?" or "what button did he tell me to click now?" It misses an understanding of the concept which, again, despite the "for dummies" tag, should really be provided.

For instance, when Jebediah (the autopilot) aligns the ship towards the TARGET's relative RETROGRADE, then nullifies the speed difference, it would help to know what that means. Essentially, he speeds up to catch up with the thing so it doesn't fly away again because it's much faster. That's a "for dummies" I would have expected.

Cause retrograde usually means slower with regards to a slower target, but because the target is so much faster, relative slowing down means becoming as fast as the target.

Thanks for the video! I have watched many RDV videos but all of them made it sound so complicate. Yours was quite brief and right on the spot!

This was very useful! I now have a better idea of how I'm gonna build my space station, piece by piece; I was unsure of how I would Rendezvous with the station with new parts while building it, but I guess I now know :)

Its easy but, so dumb we are to dont know? really

i cannot understand. guess i might just go stupid and target the ship itself. then thrust until i get there.
