  Ok, here's a really noob question, but what does -ZLV -XVV stands for, from the attached image of Chris' first post?
  

  
  That refers to the attitude of the ship. -ZLV -XVV means that the aft is facing into the direction of travel and the payload bay towards earth.
  
  -XVV = -x pointing into the velocity vector (vv)
