manoeuvres

And dynamically allocating function pointers on the heap (calloc) requires completely batshit insane keyboard manoeuvres.

Wikipedia: At a distance of 249 m, the ATV computers use videometer and telegoniometer data for final approach and docking manoeuvres.

It's enough to have executed a few strategical paths and many more tactical manoeuvres.

If the bad reviews are raising valid complaints - and 'drove so badly we nearly died to his manoeuvres' is a valid complaint.

You would be able to see the rocket, including it's essential info (altitude, speed, the ball thing) and also be able to see the manoeuvres they do.

They could rendezvous by matching orbits using pretty standard manoeuvres, it would just take more time than if it was moving in a similar orbit as the planet itself.

If there are any last-minute problems, a pre-programmed sequence of anti-collision manoeuvres, fully independent of the main navigation system, can be activated by the flight engineers aboard the station.

As someone who is partly responsible for the sanity of market data in a financial application, i can tell you that my colleagues and i look forward to such manoeuvres with utter dread.

Maybe it's just standard legal CYA manoeuvres and wouldn't stand up anyway or would be the default in law even if the clause weren't there explicitly, but the potential employee doesn't necessarily know that.

That was always the point of The Knowledge - to know (for example) which major thoroughfares to avoid so you aren't going to be sitting in gridlock for an hour, however counterintuitive such evasive manoeuvres might be to an automated route finder.

The radar was tracking the US aircraft coming in until they were about 200km away, at which point instead of just one flight of aircraft on the radar screen, we suddenly had three flights, each one performing seperate manoeuvres.

I remember following the launch, the series of orbit raising manoeuvres to slingshot the craft into a heliocentric orbit to begin the journey towards Mars, there by limiting the costs and enabling to work around mission constraints, was extremely impressive.

The rockets and shuttles do "pitch-over manoeuvres" to turn the straight upward acceleration into an elliptical acceleration.

It's very much a techno thing, reminiscent of a track like Space Manoeuvres' "Stage One".

That's true - but for my preferred sport (motorcycle racing) sometimes it'd be _really_ nice to not have to "settle" for the producers choices of what to see (that last MotoGP race had, from memory, 3 critical overtaking manoeuvres happen while the producer had decided to cut away to showing the team/girlfriend in the pit garage).

Since then, reading the "Essay on Realistic Space Combat"[2] took a lot out of the fun of those sorts of considerations, as you realise that actual space combat would be more like relativistic cold wars and sudden genocide[3] than the dashing image of privateering and admiralty fleet manoeuvres.
