    For your comment at 4:49 , here's ur method:
    "gravitational" acceleration = (ωr)^2/r, where ω=angular velocity of the ship in rads/sec and r=distance from the ships center in meters
    + you can look at your ship dimensions to at least know what g would be at the very ends of the ship

    • @smooneychad
      @smooneychad  20 днів тому

      Ay thanks! If I can find the time, I’ll go back through my footage and try measure the angular velocity, as well as trying to estimate the distance at different points (Another commenter mentioned trying the accelerometer so I’ll give that a go too)

      Reading this comment spawned an entire mini-mission to the poles there (after reloading one of the saves from the video) turns out it’s just VERY bright aurora, no mention of it in any of the science experiment reports however.
