KSP is not mathematically accurate and it can’t be or it would have trouble running on computers. They split up and use simplified 2 body dynamics in the game.
We use super computers to model the n-body problem bcz of how complex it is.
Yeah, that’s how they filmed the first moon landing.
You were going to complain no matter what Spain did…
Innocent bcz of cuteness overload! Acquitted of all charges!
Shocked Pikachu
This couldn’t possibly have been avoided
This just in, guy who lies all the time lied again.
Sooooo, are we like in a ceasefire, or no?
It’s a joke about the previous Pope bcz JD Vance saw him the day before he died.
And thats why they need to cut NASA’s science budget next year, so they can fund a few weeks of war with Iran.
Science is great and all, but have you heard of bombing people for no reason?
“It’s just there for cooling” - someone
“NO IT GRABBED ME AND PULLED ME IN, I DIDNT TRIP!” - Me
Maybe we can start a GoFundMe, something like “Help me get my life back in order by destroying an OpenAI datacenter”
What is mean about actually wanting to send probes to Uranus?
ESA built the service module which keeps the crew alive, and one of the Astronauts is Canadian. This is probably the most insulting response I’ve seen yet.
This has also been in the works since 2017, through three administrations. All Trump had to so was not try to cancel them like a dumbass.
This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears from a lot of engineers. It is the furthest thing from expansionism.
Its probably the only decent thing the U.S. is doing right now that I don’t feel bad about.
I don’t know, we need to do a better job of advertising this stuff if a lot of people don’t know about it. This is one of the few decent things the U.S. is doing.
Those things are not mutually exclusive. Why are you so angry about this when the military budget request this year was over 892 billion dollars?
NASA’s budget is less than 0.35% of the what was spent the previous year, which was over 7 trillion dollars.
If you want to be angry at something, you should direct it toward the asshats in charge who refuse to fund our Healthcare, infrastructure, and yes, cancer research.
You’re right to be upset, but you are directing it a the wrong stuff.
It should really say “Meditation gets easier the more you do it”. Definitely can be difficult if you are out of practice, or just starting.
I’m going to ignore the obvious Kindergarten joke (which I’ve made myself).
I would be happy to send a probe to Uranus. We know a lot less about the outer planets bcz we’ve really only done a few flybys of them.
I’m talking about the comments section here, not the content of the article.
Actually, we don’t use relativity so much. For some stuff like light time delays, yes, but for orbit determination we use newtonian mechanics still. It’s just that once you start adding more than two bodies, you have to shift to doing numerical integration to find solutions, which doesn’t work for real-time stuff like video games.
For most applications, F = -GM1M2/r^2 is still a valid approximation.
Edit: And by most applications, i mean sending a satellite to a planet in our solar system. If you were trying to go to Alpha Centauri, you damn sure better use Relativity to model your trajectory.
