      And “stoked” was part of the everyday language with people at least ten years older than him when they all saw the Moon shot, landing, walk, escape, docking, and return. Most Everyone was stoked! He was so stoked he messed around with moldy dynamite, then became an engineer, and is now a stoked CEO of a huge freakin-huge-rockets rocket company. Staying young and still playing very seriously with rockets. Awesome.

      Honestly it's cool but it would probably not be a good design for actually protecting your head in the event of something falling on the hat... hard hats usually are rounded to deflect blows away, but the cowboy hat's concave shape would invite objects in to the center, potentially causing more damage than if you went hatless.

      PS: I'm sure that owning a rocket ship company and running one are different. But knowing a lot about both rocket science and knowing how to the business goes a long way. Just compare the progress of Blue Origin (with a leader who knows a lot about making money, and has a LOT more money but arguably knows much less about rocket science), vs SpaceX. Stop acting like Musk is not doing anything but pay money to do whatever he wants others to do. He may not be a physicist, but if Musk was replaced by some other billionaire, there is a high probability their technology wouldn't have come as far as it is today. SpaceX still, to this date, is the only rocket company that can send things on orbit and land the booster back on the ground safely for reuse, reliably.

      Err, back in school, you weren't messing around with something like solid rocket boosters, which have no positive control over their burn times. An SRB can't be shut off, so if you miscalculate even the tiniest bit on amount of fuel, or your fuel quality is just a bit off and so it burns a bit slower or faster than you were expecting, then your ending trajectory can be quite a bit different than what you were hoping for.

    So, if I understand this right, in order for the Parker probe to get closer to the Sun we need to put enough force on it in the opposite direction than earth is orbiting in order for the Sun's gravity to act on it and pull it in?

    • @ninjaisfast
      @ninjaisfast Před 5 lety +67

      Correct. Orbiting something is when the object goes so fast that it can't fall into what it's orbiting around, because it travels so fast sideways. To fall into the sun, you need to cancel out all that velocity the Earth has.

      No. The Parker probe is already flying around the sun, subject to it's gravity, at thousands of kilometres an hour, the same as earth. If it wasn't for the sun's gravity we'd be flying off to somewhere else in the milky way. What you need to do is to slow it down to drop it's altitude. But the funny thing is that even though you are slowing it down, because it falls so close to the sun it speeds up a ridiculous amount due to the gravity of the sun. Clear as mud?

      At points in the orbit when the satellite is reaching its closest point in orbit to the sun, it will be travelling at a really colossal speeds. As it's going to be needing that speed and momentum to carry it back out.
      Just a couple tidbits, all orbits are slices of a cone, and if you want to get a visual understanding of orbits Kerbal Space Program as mentioned in the video gives really good visual depictions of orbital mechanics. (Though KSP is scaled at half regular solar system scale.)

      It is also completely useless at it's intended function, which is to protect the head from falling objects. Hard hats are rounded so any heavy object striking your head will glance off, pushing your head to the side. They aren't all that effective against direct hits to the very center, which is why there is usually a mohawk of thicker plastic. A good sized bolt dropped from one or two stories has more than enough energy to punch a hole straight through with a direct hit.
      That hard hat is just one huge flat horizontal surface. Any impact is going to be transferred straight down into his neck and spine, and the shape of the divet in the top of the hat will actually redirect an otherwise-glancing blow into a direct hit to the top (weakest) part of the hard hat.

      I would add that the large mounting point you can see on the mid-point (depth per viewpoint) between the booster core and the central core is the primary structure for vertical (lift) loads for the boosters into the second stage.
      The side struts then are for arresting any twisting motion caused by TVC roll motions which would be controlled mainly by the booster cores.
      This, though initially counter intuitive for me, makes sense to be at the top of the booster/central core assembly as the central core lifts itself and the booster cores only assist in lifting the payload (until expended).
      The counter point would be maybe the cores are joined for vertical force transfer at the base, and therefore the vertical loads are transferred from the booster core thrust assembly into the central core, and this then lifts the payload. Weirdly, this introduces weight penalties, but does so through a design choice of the cores being CCAs - Common Core Assemblies; i.e. the central and booster cores are the same.
      In this case the booster cores are not lifting a payload, so there require less support vertically because there's nothing but a nose-cone on top of them. The central core does however require much greater support vertically because it's taking the force from the booster cores as well as it's own thrust through to the second stage adapter.
      The difference in strength required therefore between the central core and the booster cores could be something like an order of magnitude different; yet they are the same design.... hence weight penalty....
      It's strange when something so simple as - 'lets bolt them together at the top', makes such obvious sense in hindsight; I've been kerballing all wrong... I wonder how falcon heavy does it?
