Online tool for Kerbal Space Program that helps players determine delta-v requirements for a mission, and what type of comms dishes a certain satellite requires.
New players tend to assume aerobrake by default. Simple missions include going from Kerbin to land on Mun and return to Kerbin. This calculation should likely return 6000 m/s dv, instead of 10k m/s dv
Kerbin landing could never take 3400 m/s dv since the thick atmosphere significantly slows down even highly aerodynamic ships. This opens up the issue that Jool/Eve should not be set as aerobrake by default, because of how dangerous they are. Duna on the other hand can easily be used for aerobraking, but and actually landing without parachutes still requires a fair amount of dv even with the atmosphere
