LEARN / LIVE Same Sol, one app — LEARN = planetarium · tours · science · relax; LIVE = PILOT · land · docks · crew RPG · quests.
FLOAT / PILOT Keys 1 · 2 — flight feel inside either product. FLOAT = lazy-river idle; PILOT = manual 6DOF.
Gears [ ] or , . — DOCK / CRUISE / BURN / TRANSIT speed bands. Hold ⚡/Shift for boost ramp (not binary).
Clock Orbits only: 0 pause · 3 real · 4 cruise · 5 fast · 6 cine — you still fly

First principles: planet orbits keep real AU ratios. Some far TNOs and probes sit closer than their almanac a — the look chip says display and a. Radii are display-boosted (not true angular size) so skim works on a phone. Hyp bodies stay labeled fiction. Sol button hides Hyp. README · SCIENCE.md.
Call companion is offline-first; API keys (Advanced) stay on this device — see PRIVACY.md.
Observation Station (belt habitat): soft-land · walk in · E / tap the Walkman to equip. Radio HUD unlocks after. Instrumental Web Audio only.
