Looks like a dime falling down out of reach !
An iconic pic for the future ?
I have always wondered how NASA organises the navigation for these events.
What do they do for reference points/waypoints for celestial navigation in 3-D. ??
Are there any online 3-D navigation explainers ?
Merely pointing the nose towards the Moon would not quite achieve what is required.
When the whole plot is swirling around, almost independently of each other.
Planning that 130 km flyover would require near pinpoint precision, all along the way..
Must require some serious computer time ?
Calculating rocket burn times must be a very precise business also.
(Ask that Tesla that missed Mars - by a long way !).
