I feel like the best option for mars in the long run would be to eventually establish a lunar relay. Establish bases on the moon, launch from Earth to the moon, resupply, then launch from the moon to Mars. That way you only have to deal with the atmosphere once at most between maintenance, resupply, and rest. Doing that would save on both complexity (after the base is made of course) and fuel. Edit: 23:48 Yeah I hadn't gotten to that point yet. Oops.
33:18 I was thinking something similar to Nate’s scenario but in my version the aliens think the corpse is a threat and go to war. “See this dead person we sent you. This is you.” That’s what they’re gonna think. And you know the gun also.
"That's someone who's practiced." "Either that or a psychopath." "Hit the button." Nate unpauses video "Whoever did this is a psychopath." Nate proceeds to lose his mind. "I'm done!"
9:26 not everyone. A lot of cultures believe that the Earth is flat, but there are also a lot of confidence and always believed that the Earth was round
Theres a company that already made a working prototype of a device that spins a rocket and launches it into the sky. All you need is to go high enough to work a rocket in very little atmosphere.
The Spinlaunch idea is kinda bad compared to the many other alternatives, and given that the company has almost no scientific or financial backing (not even from NASA who are currently cooperating with basically everyone), I doubt it will ever get far. There are many problems with the idea: -Spinning a centrifuge this large to any meaningful speed takes enormous amount of energy, so either a single launch takes several hours of spinning or you have to build a nuclear power plant just for the centrifuge. -Your rocket (and centrifuge) must be stable enough to survive several hundred gs of acceleration. -Your rocket must be able both extremely aerodynamic and extremely heat resistance to survive the initial contact with the atmosphere, which at that speed would behave like a metal wall. Also you would loose large amounts of speed while going up the atmosphere so you'd still have to carry some fuel, which increases mass and size and thus complicates things even more. -The accuracy required to launch a literal rocket out of a centrifuge in such a way that it can arrive at a suitable orbit is insane, centrifgues are literally the worst mechanism in terms of accuracy for this purpose. Even worse, the centrifuge would very likely impart some rotational momentum on the rocket which causes it to tumble during ascent (which you really don't want). There was another idea similar to this which had many of the same faults, it was called Slingatron and I can't really explain it so look it up, its a fun read (or watch). As for alternatives, ranging from cheap/easy to expensive/difficult, of course most of these are economically terrible, but might become better in the future (Note that Spinlaunch might also become profitable in the future, but not with our current technology, infrastructure and goals): -SSTO rockets (Single-stage-to-orbit) -Space planes Orion-style nuclear pulse launch vehicle (which is surprisingly efficient and effective, able to carry hundreds to thousands of metric tons per trip (if you conveniently ignore the radiation)) -High-altitude space launch (carrying a rocket up to the edge of the atmosphere via suborbital blimp or aircraft) -Space gun (Including blast wave accelerator, ram accelerator and a literal thermonuclear cannon) -Beam-powered propulsion (including laser-ablative, laser-thermal, laser-electric, lightsail, magnetic sail or pulsed atmospheric plasma production) -Sled launcher (including rocket sleds, cable sleds and electromagnetic sleds) -Rotating skyhook (rotovator) -Lofstrom loop -Space fountain -StarTram (i.e. vacuum maglev tube launcher; a type of mass driver) -Non-rotating skyhook (Which now that I think about it is just a worse space elevator) -Space elevator -Tethered Suborbital Ring -Space tower Theres others but I don't remember. Also, air-breathing rocket engines (like scramjets) would be an upgrade to regular rockets.
Asher reminds me a lot of my dog Loki. Loki is not a pitbull, but he is an english bulldog-american bulldog mix so he is kind of similar. What makes Asher remind me of Loki is that Loki is also a sweet dog who is kind of painful to cuddle with.
They are making something really similar to the CERN launch idea, they are making a machine that spins things in a container so fast that when a button is pressed and the container is detached from the spinning mechanism the container is flung all the way up to the atmosphere. There are videos of it and it is really cool and interesting to read up on.

@@andrewhopkins886 could it work though with enough momentum built up before release and having the right solid object to be launched? Imagine a solid metal cube the size of a two story suburban house launched at like mach 10 speed towards a city.

I disagree with the pluto demotion. also, i love that they actually changed the definition of a planet twice. the original new definition that erased pluto just said cleared its orbit of debris. but once people pointed out that, 1) yearly meteor showers are because of debris in earth's orbit, 2) technically the existence of moons would mean its orbit isn't cleared, and 3) nearly every planet, including earth, has "Trojans". IE, large objects that share the same orbit as a planet, but since they travel at the same speed, never collide. then they changed it again to add "of similar size". they could have just used size and set pluto as the minimum. it would have cleared up the naming problem, been just as scientific (IE, not very), and not gotten the pushback. only caveat is it would have added Eris as the tenth planet since its bigger then pluto. which is fine, 10 is a nice round number.
46:58 what's up with those reactions to love? granted, i'll accept the answer of '42', but what about love? to quote Ron Swanson: "If you don't believe in love, what's the point of living?"

Actually if you use the cern method, but just launch an object that you tether a manned vehicle to with an elastic wire, it could work maybe.

i though what the fk is snoring sound. and i found where it came from............. why do you add that in the video??
because asher is sleeping they probably can't remove it
who's snoring? keep that out of the video
is the dog Asher in the girl's lap
