It’s definitely harder to decay the orbit into the sun directly than it is to get to escape velocity. But to play devil’s advocate, there is probably a way to get them into the sun while being a similar cost to escape velocity. All you need to do is burn prograde to a super high aphelion, ride all the way out there to Pluto or whatever and then do a small retrograde burn to bring your perihelion inside the sun’s photosphere. When you then get back towards the sun years later you would slam into it with a sick velocity that I think would be worth the decades-long wait.
It’s just not true though, unless you do an out then in maneuver.
No that’s not really the case, the earth will be destroyed.
She’s the person who managed to be so racist that MTG called her out publically for it, which is honestly quite impressive.
Technically there is no boundary, it’s atmosphere all the way in. But what we might call the “surface” is the photosphere. That is where the density becomes “low” (read not insanely high) enough that light can escape in a free path.
The sun has an atmosphere so there are soundwaves coming out of it. It’s actually all one big atmosphere getting thinner and thinner as you go out just like ours.
Well, 9.1% less money, but yes ;)
I’m more interested in wtf is a “Devin Nunes”?? Almost gives me cow vibes, but idk.
Is this actually real? If so the brain worm thing is not even a joke anymore, they must have done some serious neurological damage because that’s messed up.
Website for pirating books. A godsend for me during university, where I saved 100s of dollars per semester, while getting the books in a digital format which I prefer.
If she couldn’t win the primary, how can she win the general? Not like AIPAC will just stop influencing the election.
The SpaceX rocket unfortunately isn’t powerful enough to launch anything into the sun, but yes.
Definitely, my hope is that if that doesn’t happen this time, the momentum will carry forward to the next election as well and the electorate will see that the Dems can actually make life better for people. But it’s a dream, I know that.
Yes, that’s why it needs to be a landslide, we need enough political power to actually enact change.
I really hope this is gonna be a landslide election and it’s possible for the Dems to take a page out of Waltz’ book and pass a whole bunch of meaningful legislation, which will help carry on support for the Dems next election as well. But oh well, I might be too optimistic.
W Bush didn’t win the election due to how the electoral college works, he won it due to the corrupt supreme court. Not only did he lose the popular vote, he lost the EC as well.
Probably not, but the people who just got a job maybe would.
I mean if a state removed the TSA and spent the money on something else, surely they could use the money to create as many jobs as they removed but in an actual useful field.
Yeah it probably is, my comment was really about raw deltaV numbers without using gravity assists.
