Yeah, you would only need to burn a little bit more on your initial burn, that’s why I said the cost would be similar.

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.
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.
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.
Foot-pound is not a unit of pressure, ignoring the fact that it’s a stupid non-metric unit.
Just pay people to be your shoppers and buy as much as they can for you. And give them a good salary for it. Hiring people is not giving it away, and they are buying the stuff for you. Or hire like a private concert with someone. So many things to spend money on.
No she isn’t? Macron is president until the next French presidential election in 2027.
Yes, it’s the avocado man himself in the picture.
If the arm can bend, the car and the magnet could move towards each other until they come together, moving the car at max a few centimeters. If the arm doesn’t bend, the car is pulled as much forward as the magnet, and therefore the arm and in turn the car itself, is pulled forward, leaving the whole system stationary.
No, because if it’s a proper planet it will clear its orbit.
In your last paragraph, most of the places you write watts you mean watt hours. Good reminder that Wh is a bad unit, since it’s too easy to confuse with watts.
Yes, but it’s not guaranteed that it will.
Yeah it probably is, my comment was really about raw deltaV numbers without using gravity assists.
