    Great video!👏 I especially like how you directly address the question about why many robotic missions to the Moon take longer to get there than the Apollo missions did. On every UA-cam video on robotic lunar missions there are always angry comments from people who think since these missions take longer to get to the Moon that there's wrong with the spacecraft's design.

    For anyone who has played some Kerbal Space Program and is wondering why they use the term perigee instead of periapsis to describe the lowest point in the orbit, perigee only describes an orbit around Earth, where perihelion describes the closest point in an orbit around the sun, with other terms for other bodies like the Moon and planets. Periapsis and apoapsis are the generic terms for the lowest and highest points of an orbit relative to the body the object is orbiting.
