Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out, in general, the best time to launch from Earth if I want to minimize the delta-v required to align planes with the Moon or Mars before I start the Trans-Lunar or Trans-Mars injection. So far I've got it horribly wrong, usually 50 degrees off, effectively destroying my mission before I've even begun.
