Most men can't find the clitoris.

I can pull my truck into a parking spot on the first try, so probably so

I played Kerbal Space Program. Its second nature.

I failed because I hit it at 5 m/s and had 0.5* of yaw

So, if you get impatient and mash on the gas, don't forget to mash the brakes A LOT more than it looks like you need to

I zero'd out each translation and rotation degree of freedom independently and then crawled towards the dock.. it worked but took forever

I made it the second time.

It's much easier if you don't romp on the go pedal the whole time. I wish it would give a timer from first input so we could all race each other.

I picked a bad day to work from home.


ETA: It is substantially easier once I started using the keyboard instead of just my mouse to click like an idiot.

Failed second try because I had too much rotation.

I need a joystick. Tapping buttons on my screen is no good.

Just waylay the gas pedal. If you aren't mashing E most of the time you're doing it wrong
