SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the delta-v requirements from Earth-Moon Lagrange points to the lunar surface. Users express difficulty in finding tools that visualize or calculate these delta-v values, noting that existing delta-v maps do not include Lagrange points. The software Kerbal Space Program is mentioned, with the caveat that it does not model Lagrange points unless the Principia mod is added. The resource "projectrho" is highlighted as a valuable source for delta-v maps and mission planning information.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of delta-v and its significance in space travel
- Familiarity with Earth-Moon Lagrange points
