    @FriendlyFin not true.

    Apoapsis becomes N/A when you achieve a hyperbolic orbit around your current parent celestial body. However, it is somewhat imprecise to speak of "setting" one's apoapsis. You don't set your apoapsis, you increase it by burning prograde (ideally near your periapsis). Technically you do not need to achieve a truly hyperbolic orbit to make a planetary transfer because once you are out of the sphere of influence of your current celestial body it won't matter whether your orbit was technically still elliptical. You may find the vizzy program in this craft of interest. It is unfinished and still has some bugs that I was never able to iron out.
