RL rocket thrust equations are in the realm of calculus as the
effective thrust (in Gs) is steadily increasing while the mass of
fuel spent (thrust in lbs) is constant due to the total mass of the
ship decreasing!
E.g., if you have spent, say, 50% of the asteroid mass to accelerate
it, at that point, the effective G of a rocket is doubled!
I think to approximate it you might try doing math at each 10%..
The nomograph he said he was using accounts for that, which is the
nifty thing about them.
