What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 1)

Haha, nope, never flown apart from being an airline passenger. I’m kinda obsessed with numbers. In GT Sport I calculated the fuel consumption as well for all cars, figuring out how many laps each car could make with or without fuel saving by short shifting or changing the fuel mixture.

Elite Dangerous was a good fit for me, calculating lots of random stuff, for example extrapolating the hypothetical hyperspace jump, hyper drive in Elite Dangerous: Ignoring the heat factor (and ignoring the decrease in range by the weight of the fuel) what do you hypothetically need to jump to the Large Magellenic Cloud based on the best technology we currently have.
A 136k ly jump would require 9.9 E+27 tons of fuel (1.3^31 x 40ly, 8t^31 fuel), that’s nearly 5 Solar masses!
Let’s take it beyond the extreme and jump straight to Andromeda 2.5 million light years away.
That would require about 9 E+37 tons, which is nearly 8% of the mass of the Milky way Galaxy.

From exploring the Galaxy to exploring the Earth
