    5 years later than predicted, and billions of dollars above budget, yet still a great day for the future of humanity.

      Jesse Jensen how would the laser be utilized? i haven't really looked too far into this subject, bc of what you said, there doesn't seem to be any realistic options right now. but, i feel like the elevator option is actually pretty reasonable if we were able to create a material strong enough in large enough quantities.

      Every administration is culpable... remember, Obama spent 800 billion on the "stimulus" - basically a make-work welfare program that accomplished very little economically. Considering the technological spin-off industries that were spawned by the Apollo program, applying the stimulus package to the space program and other research areas would have rewarded us far better than fixing roads and highway overpasses. And add to that the cancelled Super-conducting Super Collider that was proposed to be even more powerful than the LHC. The funding for that was a drop in a bucket compared to the failed stimulus.

    Also note -- you can escape earth gravity by going at any speed (even very slow speed) , just have steady thrust until you arrive at a Lagrangian point (or a point where gravity attraction from another object such as the Moon or another planet takes over, thus canceling out Earth's gravitational pull).
    If your spacecraft was very light, you may even be able to hitch a ride on a nearby asteroid or satellite of some kind. The ability of light spacecraft to have efficient steady thrust, would allow for low cost space visits, especially when the return to earth can be glider like and you are able to re-use the craft.
    I suppose the main problem here is getting the small spacecraft (or just a spacesuit) light enough and still have ability to carry some kind of reliable steady thrust / power system).

  • @sekhararun31
    @sekhararun31 5 років тому +2

    Sir, few questions. 1. The atmosphere is exerting drag only for 30 km distance and that is only a fraction of the total journey. So is that so important?
    2. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will continue its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted up on by an external force. In space there is no drag or external force. Once the rocket is given enough thrust after escaping earth's gravitational field, why more thrust is required ? Won't the force initially generated suffice for a long duration ? Once the vehicle I as about to enter Marcian atmosphere, infact a deceleration will be required?

    • @flickandsnorty6407
      @flickandsnorty6407 4 роки тому +1

      I'm not an astro physicist but astro physics and orbital mechanics are a fascination of mine so I'll try to explain as best as I can.
      1) It's very important. A weird way of describing air resistance is that it acts like cornstarch (or ooblek) where the more force you apply, the more resistance you experience. for example, If you walk when there is no wind, you don't really feel any air flowing past your skin. However, if you stick your head out of a car window travelling at speed, you certainly do feel the air resistance. The same principle applies to rockets. A rocket is designed to experience something called "Max-Q" which is maximum dynamic drag, or the point where the rocket is experiencing the most air resistance and will undergo the greatest amount of stress on the structure. Because of this, the hardest part of rocketry is its aerodynamic and structural design. A number of rockets have failed due to minor errors which cause the rocket to suffer a catastrophic failure.
      2) Newton's first law is exactly as you said. However, you have forgotten that gravity is an external force. It's not a dragging force, it is a pulling force on the craft. That is why we have satellites and space stations in orbit. orbit isn't the absence of gravity, but is in fact, a ship that is traveling as fast horizontally, as it is vertically. a side note worth mentioning is that you cannot truly escape the gravitational influence of all bodies of mass in space. You are always influenced by one body or another which is why you can orbit the earth, the moon, mars, or any other body of mass.
      3) As for entering the martian atmosphere, you're correct, a deceleration will be required. Although parachutes are able to slow the descent to a reasonable speed, the atmosphere is too thin to enter with parachutes like we do on earth. the likelihood is that the landing will be a combination of parachutes higher up (like entering earths lower atmosphere) and then landing with rocket propulsion (like we do on the moon).
      Feel free to ask any further questions!

    You could have huge DeltaV to burn from orbit, rather than trying to push it all up through the atmosphere at once.

      @TheDuckofDoom. 6 років тому

      Simply six verses a half dozen. You still need to get the total payload to escape velocity, whether that is one big burn or multiple small launches with a rest and assembly at orbital velocity it is the same energy, although one big launch has fewer complications and far less extremely expensive space-labor.

    • @willoughbykrenzteinburg
      @willoughbykrenzteinburg 6 років тому

      It takes about 9.4 km/s of delta V to reach from the surface of Earth to low Earth orbit. From that point, to escape the solar system entirely, it requires a further 8.75 km/s of delta V. You literally are halfway to everywhere when you reach low Earth orbit.

  • @racastilho
    @racastilho 6 років тому +2

    Fantastic video!
    Question:
    Why do we need to reach the escape velocity, why not just keep going in a relatively slow, yet steady velocity away from gravity?

    • @jpinier
      @jpinier 5 років тому +2

      Good question. The reason is you have to overcome the force of gravity. If you don't reach escape velocity, you will fall back toward Earth. It's just like when you throw a rock. You'd have to throw that rock really really fast for it to not fall back on the ground. If you could throw it hard enough, it would keep falling but follow the Earth's surface and come back around, that's called orbital speed (~17,000 mph for Low Earth Orbit). Any object in Earth orbit is actually constantly falling toward Earth but has enough tangential speed that it never does hit Earth. For an object to escape Earth's gravity field and keep going in space you'd have to throw it even faster, ~25,000 mph. Hope this helps.

    • @willoughbykrenzteinburg
      @willoughbykrenzteinburg 5 років тому +5

      Rodrigo, Jeremy's answer was not accurate. There is nothing stopping something escaping Earth's gravity in just the way you describe. The reason we don't do that is simply because it is not very fuel efficient. Jeremy's thrown rock example was accurate, but we are not throwing rocks into space; we are shooting rockets...that have fuel...so a source of power. The idea of "escape velocity" assumes that the only power the projectile has is the instantaneous velocity given to it at launch. It's a theoretical concept. For example, the escape velocity of Earth is 11.2 km/s. This does NOT mean that you have to reach 11.2 km/s to escape the Earth's gravity. It means that _from the surface of Earth,_ a projectile would need to be launched at 11.2 km/s, and this 11.2 km/s would need to be given instantaneously, and ignoring drag, and assuming it is given no further propulsion of any kind (only affected by Earth gravity), it will escape. If you have enough fuel, there's nothing stopping you from escaping Earth at a constant 1 m/s. It's just not efficient. You DO need to reach escape velocity to escape the Earth, but the thing is, escape velocity is not a constant. It depends on where you are in the gravitational field. The farther away you go, the lower the escape velocity from that point will be. So, if you were riding a rocket at 1 m/s, you would eventually be so far away from Earth that the escape velocity would be .99 m/s, and you would then be exceeding it, and could then turn off your engines and you would escape - having never gone any faster than 1 m/s.

    My personal belief about going to Mars, coming from a guy who went to FIT (Florida Tech) when the Apollo missions were at their peak, has an opinion that some may care about and others may not give two hoots about. I personally believe that spending all the money putting people on Mars would be an extreme expense which may not give us a reasonable return on our investment. I would rather spend a fraction of the money, and send robotic machines to the moons of Jupiter, where there are oceans of frozen water.
    Underneath those oceans are volcanos, like here on Earth, where we can see the spray of water into the outer atmosphere of the moons. We should land a rover type craft onto the frozen moon, drill a deep hole into the water ocean below it, and send a fiber optic camera way down deep and see what swims there. That is how we will find life. If you want to land on Mars to find life, simply go to "death valley" and see what you can find under the ground. Yeah, you might find some microbes, but is that a "success" worth all the money? JMHO.

    This talk started nicely and was very interesting, but ended on a sour note with all that bragging about private investment in spaceflight.
    It's NOT a great sign of national engagement in science when some private companies have to carry the weight not only to keep the US commitment to an international endeavor, but also to carry all hope for any foreseeable advancement, and that not for achievements or knowledge, but only greed and tourists cash.
    Not even the idea of company owned stations is elevating, since it's hard enough to keep an eye on their actions on ground - in space they would be factual above the law and business opportunities like bioweapons are obvious.
    This all out acceptance of greed as prime motivation for humanity is quite disgusting; and to think that our hopes have to rest on the small chance that most of the Musks and Bezos are far better man than we give them credit for (and as their decisions up and until now indicate) is not something to promote easy rest.

    How could a journey to any other body, benefit from rendezvousing with the ISS? There's no non political reason for it. Any "pitstop" cargo would have to be launched up to the ISS anyway, soooooo.... why not just have a second launch meet up with the soon to be LEO-departing spacecraft? Then you could maximize the potential additional payload one could take on, before breaking earth orbit. Depending on the mission. Some of it could be fuel and or cargo.
    The ISS doesn't really produce or export much of anything except science of course. Yet media keeps acting as if a 'pitstop' to the ISS on the way to the moon or mars is a logical necessity and it's just not, in any practical sense of such physical mission requirements.

      Why use metrics when imperials make far more common sense? I love them.

    • @TheDuckofDoom.
      @TheDuckofDoom. 6 років тому

      First this is a free country, nobody dictates what units I use and I use both as convenient. The very notion that some abstract non-sentient construct called the USA could simply covert as an entity is absurd.
      Most engineers work with the industrial standards of their field to make use of economic mass produced parts and avoid mistakes with unnecessary conversions and incompatibility. Whether the arbitrary base unit of the standard was an inch or a meter is of little consequence. In practice a base unit of reasonable size is chosen and that unit is used to the final product converting from one unit to another is actually quite rare to the point of being inconsequential, for example if I'm working with cubic inches I don't care about gallons and the ease or difficulty of converting is pure novelty.
      A full conversion of machines and tooling for this continent just to appease some pseudo-intellectuals would be tens to hundreds of trillions of dollars in waste.
      For the same reasons that the usa uses inches ISO standard plumbing is all inch based; nearly all structural plumbing worldwide is either American inch or British inch sizing. (why Iso went with the British standard is purely political, it uses a ridiculous Witworth thread form while American pipe uses the standard 60deg thread form used on all other ISO threads.)
      As for the popular everyday US unit system (imperial is not the same, eg 16 vs 20 ounces in a pint) it is generally base 12 or base 2 depending on what you are doing, both of which are better for everyday use where you need to divide whole items by 2,3,4,6,8...
      Base ten is really a piss poor numeral system, only divisible by two small primes. If you need fingers to count base twelve is still superior, I can get to twelve on one hand and a gross with two hands. However most people are infused with base ten from a young age and most math uses it including engineering calculations but it is no more difficult to multiply 3.7*2.3 inches than it is 105*66.3mm; the unit suffix doesn't change the basic math operations.
      Addressing the specific questions:
      Pounds are a unit of force [thrust], a Kg is a unit of mass [payload]. If you are going to evangelize for a unit system as least try to know something about the subject.
      (a pound is 4.4 newtons, a Kg on earth exerts approximately 9.8 newtons on a balance depending on local gravity variations)
      A nautical mile is one minute of a degree of latitude.(approx. 6000+ feet depending on location)
      A surveyors rod or pole is about as long as can be handled in the field and is 16.5 feet a chain is 4 rods 66feet. a surveyors mile is actually eight furlongs, a furlong is ten chains. An acre is one chain by one furlong. A furlong gets its name from 'furrow length' which was about how far a horse could plow without a rest and why land is measured in acres. (the one-chain width chosen was because plows are directional left or right and so wider areas waste more transit time and effort at the ends.
      128 oz per gallon? Base 2 just like your computer. tablespoons, ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, are very convenient for imprecise human scale stuff like cooking. Large volumes use either cubic feet, cu.yards, or acre-feet (reservoir-lakes and irrigation) engineers tend to use cubic inches rather than ounces for smaller volumes.

Not to give lectures. beyond their general social awkwardness, I wouldn't say there's anything "off" with how they act, they're just very passionate about their work and not so passionate with public speaking. I know I can seem somewhat awkward when I'm working (I'm a developer), my mind is elsewhere, the astronauts are on a whole other level of focused.

    You know NASA really makes me a little upset with their whole outlook on space travel.
    Obviously, we can't explore deep space using rockets and to be sure deep space isn't exploring our solar system, which is only a very minute part of the cosmos.
    So, what should we be exploring in terms of technology for space travel?
    I would think that in order to travel deep space we should just look at what is beneath our feet. The earth flys through space and is protected by its own electromagnetic energy.
    The core of the earth is NOT a molten ball of iron! I'm sorry it's just not and I won't get into on how I came to understand it but, I will give you a hint, Aurora borealis.
    We can't conquer space until we conquer our own consciousness and to start thinking correctly.
    Then, when that happens we will find that its not conquer space, it's being in harmony.
    Light speed isn't fast enough for deep space. It is for our solar system but, to explore the cosmos it's going take time travel to get to where we want to go in this vast cosmos.
    Basically you need a drive system that includes 3 systems. One to lift you off the "ground" because the second drive system will be grounded out. Once it's lifted off the ground you fire up the the second drive. Which is your light speed drive or to but it simply, the electromagnetic plasma pulse drive. Then the third drive for space. Which is your tachyon drive. However, this drive should be used cautiously and far away from the solar system. This is because if the tachyon drive is used to close to a planet it could suck the planet in behind it and create a huge planet sized comet.
    Creation has put all we need to know right in front of our eyes. So, I don't know if NASA is just a front to keep the real technology hidden from the public or what. To me it's a bunch of hog wash and propaganda.
    IDK, maybe I'm a little before my time but I will tell you one thing though, as more things come into the light the more we see that things are very different from what the mainstream has been telling us.

      You know that India has a space program right? If not, then it might be worth noting that they've launched a probe to the moon (chandrayaan-1). They also have a probe orbiting Mars (Mangalyaan). Assuming you're instead referring to India sending their Satellites on Russian or American rockets, then you're ignoring the ethos of space exploration where countries are working together to explore. The US sends astronauts up to the ISS on Soyuz rockets (Russian made).
      In fact, most major economies (and some smaller) have a space program of some form or other.

  • @adamfirst3772
    @adamfirst3772 5 років тому

    why? why do we need to go so fast, to leave earth’s gravity in a SELF-PROPELLED ROCKET?? the rocket can move at very low speeds, and still break gravitational pull.. as is evident at LIFT-OFF.. where it is fighting the strongest gravitational pull with zero momentum... and still lifting off!!!! after that, it could only get easier, as gravity is getting weaker, momentum is building and helping the push, atmospheric drag is decreasing by the second, fuel weight is decreasing rapidly, etc, etc, etc...
    that “escape velocity” and “fighting earth’s gravitational pull” bs, only works for THROWN ROCKS.. not SELF-PROPELLED ROCKETS...

    • @flickandsnorty6407
      @flickandsnorty6407 4 роки тому

      You're right and wrong with the same words. Here's why:
      What you're thinking of when a rocket lifts off at 10-20m/s is effectively what's called "thrust-to-weight ratio" (TWR) a rocket with a TWR of 1 will hover and its velocity relative to the earth's surface is 0 m/s. As the fuel burns, the weight of the rocket decreases, and so the TWR increases respectively. This is where the rockets velocity increases at an accelerating rate.
      Where I think you're getting confused is why can't we just travel vertically at 20 m/s until we're in space and then boom, we;re in orbit right? No. You're in space, sure. But you'll fall back down to earth the moment the engines shut off. To orbit earth, you need to travel horizontally to the earths surface as fast as you're 'falling' back to earth. That is what Orbit is, just very fast free fall see 55:15 of this video for a brief description. To orbit at the same altitude as the ISS, you need to be traveling horizontally at a speed of 7660 m/s. That requires a lot of output from the rocket (also known as Delta-V). Delta V is the amount of speed a rocket can achieve by burning all of its fuel. The Delta-V of a rocket varies depending on whether you're within an atmosphere or in a vacuum as a rocket won't have to fight against the atmosphere in space, and so won't lose any Delta-V to air resistance.
      Your final point about how escape velocity and fighting earth's gravitational pull is all bs, is incorrect for a multitude of reasons. The first one being that what you're calling escape velocity is (I'm assuming here) actually the speed required to escape the Earths atmosphere (Escape velocity is the speed required to escape a bodies gravitational influence such as transitioning from orbit of the earth to orbiting the sun.
      Now that I got the nit picky bit out the way, your thought process seems to be that self-propelled objects don't need to travel at a specific speed to escape the earth's atmosphere which is correct. However, you're negating the fact that a rocket has a finite supply of fuel. Therefore, they can't burn indefinitely to remain above the earth's atmosphere. As a result, to shut off the engines and not fall back to earth, the rocket needs to be travelling at orbital velocity to be able to orbit the earth without requiring rocket propulsion. This is a commonly misunderstood factor and is well explained at 56:55 when he is discussing the difference between putting a rocket into space, versus putting a rocket into orbit.
      Take a look at some videos by a you tuber named "Scott Manley". He explains orbital mechanics flawlessly and also plays a game which simulates orbital mechanics perfectly called "Kerbal Space Program". He's a great teacher for this stuff and is well worth a watch. He explains it far better than I can!

    [1]In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
    [2]And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
    [3]And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
    [4]And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
    [5]And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
    [6]And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
    [7]And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
    [8]And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
    [9]And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
    [10]And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
    [11]And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
    [12]And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
    [13]And the evening and the morning were the third day.
    [14]And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
    [15]And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
    [16]And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
    [17]And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
    [18]And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
    [19]And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
    [20]And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
    [21]And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
    [22]And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
    [23]And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
    [24]And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
    [25]And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
    [26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
    [27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
    [28]And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
    [29]And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
    [30]And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
    [31]And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
