D&D 5E (2024) Building A Contemporary Fantasy Setting For 5.5E

While Barsoom is portal fantasy (and set in 1866), Barsoom is part of a shared universe that includes the Carson Napier of Venus stories (he builds a rocket and attempts to fly to Barsoom in 1931 but crashlands on Venus instead).

The story does say Carson Napier made a miscalculation by forgetting to adjust for the moons influence and gets caught in the gravitational pull of Venus. So yeah he wasnt too good at orbital mechanics
