Well, i really don't know cuz I have added a lot of things on orbiter, that I don't know which one of it is that is doing
that. I'll list later which addons I have. But that orang glow can be seen for a few time, before the sun rises above
the horizon till' it gets a little high.

-burn rg to low velocity and fall back on earth.

Hi, I never got around to asking this. But, what is the most foolproof way of going back to Earth from Moon. I mean,
you can't use things like transferMFD and the like.. How do you do it?? I tried NASSP the other day, but I had no
reliable way to get my ass back home :) NASSP5 rules by the way! :)

I just take a circular orbit aligned with earth, burn excessively when you see earth coming out from the horizon, and
you'll get into earth orbit, although it's anybody's guess what the stats of the orbit are. :)

Okay, that's eyeballing :) Anyway I found a neat looking tutorial. It's not excessively scientific, but it does mention
transX :) hehe, I'll see how I do. But for your hotseat flying this might come in handy. Tells you where Moon on
MapMFD is and relates that to the time it will take you to get home. Trigger points:



So I guess according to this, you wait for the moon to get in a desired position in the map, wait till you are on the
near side of the moon and burn prograde. How long, I dunno yet :)
