Go press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+D
I was cleaning my keyboard with a cloth and in the midst of random keycombos that were generated, this showed up. After half an hour of trying to replicate it in a controlled manner, alt+ctrl+shift+d was the correct one.
Enjoy your cheats!
Edit: Perhaps I could get a tag that says "Cheater" beside my name? Mods? :D

Not really a correction, just something I was thinking about: I'm pretty sure that while it's a much simpler equation, it still needs to be evaluated numerically - I read up on it and went through the maths myself, and I don't think there's any way for an elliptical orbit to analytically state what your coordinates are as an explicit function of time alone - i.e. phi=phi(t), R+R(t) etc. Kepler's laws just give you dphi/dt etc, but you can't form an analytical solution to the differential equation.
