If you had ideal cirumstances where you had a shuttle in space, and no other forces would effect th following experiment, would gas consumption follow pythagorean theorum? If you could burn exactly three thousand gallons going forward, and exactly four thousand gallons going up. Would you burn exactly 5,000 gallons finishing the hypotaneuse of the the triangle? Or is it not quite that efficient/accurate? What is the tolerance range of that test?
