Hahahaha check out this alternative transfer orbit to the Moon based on chaotic dynamics, it consumes almost 40% less fuel than traditional maneuvers but takes like 2 years instead of a week and looks 100% like you have no idea what you're doing pic.twitter.com/jcsECd1vHq

Errr, I think you meant to post this from your @sigfig account.

For those curious on the paper, it's online! :)
"Targeting chaotic orbits to the Moon through recurrence"
"We find a chaotic Earth-Moon transfer orbit ... that requires 38% less total velocity boost than a comparable Hohmann transfer orbit."

It’s f’ing amazing that they have even been able to model this.

You bet me to that David, I was thinking exactly the same.
But how do they do the tight turn between Earth orbit and Moon orbit?.
IRL, thats akin to a Handbrake turn?.

And I am guessing that any astronauts would have to remain completely still or it could take much longer to get there! #smallperturbations

I think something like this would be better suited for a robotic probe you want to send on the cheap. If you had to bring along 2 years worth of food for a crew there's no way you'd come out ahead in fuel savings.
