Gods, Gaeta has never wished harder for one of his Interstellar Nav 101 textbooks to materialize out of the air and drop onto the table. Even that'd probably be too complex, though -- seriously, where does he start with someone whose civilization hasn't even reached their primary satellite and thinks a trip like that is on par with a fairy tale?
This will be an excellent puzzle to solve, says the gleam in Gaeta's eye.
"Well, let's see -- " Rooting in his bag, he comes up with a half-filled notebook and pencil. He flips to the first blank page. "I guess we can start with the foundations of reaching orbit in the first place? The specific calculations vary depending on the planet's gravitational force and atmosphere, but if we're just talking general principles -- "
And off he goes, with the kind of professorial enthusiasm that's earned him his fair share of groans and rolled eyes over the years.
