Let's send some rockets into orbit... using Python.
I know that lots of the brightest coding minds on YouTube are doing crazy things like making real time engine simulations or writing AI scripts that can learn how to commute to a 9 to 5 and pay taxes, but hopefully there's still some value in more approachable things like this. This is sort of more of a physics video than a coding video, and I (hopefully) explain everything you need to know about the equations and the concepts to jump in. If anyone tries to make their own code and space mission at home let me know how it turns out!

I'd like to improve this project in the future and add cool new stuff (like multiple planet bodies) but for near future I'm going to move on to some other stuff.

Miscellaneous Bits is a channel in which I post miscellaneous bits about things that interest me, probably mostly about engineering, space, or aviation, but I reserve the right to discuss underwater basket weaving if I want to. Sometimes I may just talk about things and sometimes I may make things. Please take a subscription under advisement if it would be pleasing to you.
