    I absolutely love how the first story isn't strictly about humanity itself, but an aspect of us expressed in another species. I'm pretty sure that we would've gone through with Orion if it was our only way up.
    Alternatively, I think it would be hilarious if it turned out that nuclear propulsion was an expected stepping stone, and we had to explain the entire cold war and why it resulted in the technology being banned.

      I remember watching a documentary about the space race that talked about the Orion drive. One of the engineers interviewed said the only thing that stopped the program was the military wasn't willing to give up any of it's warheads. Six thousand warheads and they wouldn't give up the ten needed for the test program 😂

      I would like to ask a question... who is crazier?
      The people who use nuclear detonation propulsion out of necessity, or the people who considered and designed it just for fun?
      P.S.
      The first man made object was put into space by nuclear detonation.... if it didn't burn up while leaving the atmosphere..... a USA manhole cover.
      If I remember right a calculation was made that put its speed *at least* 6 to 7 times escape velocity.

    This story is better every time. I keep finding myself cheering, "GO BABY GO" and just being so ... PROUD... of a fictional race that built Orion.

    I do like the Mad Lads. Too often I have found I couldn't hang with em, but I do like em. I am older now, so when I see them taking off, I just give a head nod, and wistfully remember the days where I did.

      @neosildrake Рік тому +1

      Very, _very_ late to the Q. It's not so much about size, but about mass.
      A planet double the size but with the same mass as earth would have only 50% of earths gravity.

    I was beginning to wonder, before mention was even made of the plate on the ship's bottom, if they were gonna do the nuke launch thing. Iirc it was a theorized method of space launch we actually considered in the past, but we never did it for obvious reasons

    • @johns9652
      @johns9652 Рік тому +1

      I saw it coming too, because I’ve seen videos speculating whether our first space object was basically a giant manhole cover (actually a giant plate over a test site), or if that object was actually atomized. Slow motion footage exists apparently, but only a couple of frames have the plate in it, it disappears so fast it can be argued either way.

    Please do some research on greenhouse gases historically the earth has had far higher CO2 contact and its atmosphere sometimes so high that no human could survive. Technically speaking CO2 is it low levels worldwide for the plant life to thrive plant life would be much healthier if they were higher CO2 levels do a little scientific research
