I want to turn this into a new mass relay or something, an aimable one, too! ALSO, big number time: my first upload just turned TEN YEARS OLD a few days ago! Nuts! Thank you for sticking around for however long you personally have been here!
Paraphrasing Randall Munroe: "If you're close enough to the Sun that you can feel the effects of its atmosphere, then you have much, much bigger problems."
I wish real life physics could be like ksp physics. Like imagine having to go on a business trip to Warsaw. You get on your supersonic ladder catapult or mass relay fling yourself through the air a few times and voila; 2.3 seconds later you're there
Technically, RE-rentry would require you to have left that atmosphere to begin with, but, yes, the sun has an atmosphere, therefore atmospheric entry is possible. Upper and lower atmospheres for science too. Have fun with the heat though.
Skyhook. The capturing part is tricky tho, it's going to be very hard to do manually. Since you are incoming at orbital speeds and have to match position accurate down to a few centimetres, and only have a few millisecond windows...
unfortunately it's similar to Jool in that there's a point at which ship parts are just deleted (-250m afaik), there's no actual surface and just a kill plane
@@blockmath_2048 I used heat shields and radiators stacked together in excess. Might try out fairings as well next time. The issues is that once the heat shields reach their limit, everything falls apart.
4:42 Kerbol does _technically_ have an atmosphere. Granted, it's not everyday you get to see it, since nearly all ships burn up before you can get even close to 600km from the sun, which is it's furthest radius.
Yeah, if you check the game data, the sun actually has an "atmosphere!" Wild, isn't it? According to my notes, you enter Kerbol's upper atmosphere at 600 km altitude. It has a "flying low" height of just 18 km. You actually broke that boundary here, apparently. Nice flying! As a side note, its low orbit boundary is 1 Gm; Moho's semimajor axis is about 5 Gm.
what you've done is essentially create a syhook. an actual NASA concept for launching objects into higher orbits using very little fuel. get a craft into orbit, rendevous with the skyhook, and use the thing to literally YEET the ship onto a transorbital trajectory.
this channel is essentially Danny creating MEGA drives.... and yes, a MEGA drive is a thing that exists in the realm of propulsion (at least.... theoretically, the tests aren't going so well so far)
I see potential for an interplanetary Kerbal return system. Trapped in Eeloo orbit? No problem! Just *S P I N* and you'll come flying right back home! Parachutes not included.
Make an SSTO, but instead of giving kerbals a proper storage instead they are just piled into the mark 3 cargo hold. Much more efficient kerbal density than those “crew capsules”
When you move the arrows, does it keep it still relative to the craft, or relative to its original position? If it's relative to the craft, could you in theory launch the craft to insane speeds, then launch a kerbal at significantly higher speeds?
@@Calbjrd Thanks I will now fix it. I still dont think a tether coming through the atmsphere at Mach 10 is able to carefully pick something off the ground and throw it into space.

From what happened this seems definitely possible.
We need moar science!!!
Also, congrats!
Congrats with the 10 years!!
Congratulations!
congrats, but most of all we hope you're doing what you enjoy

side effect: planet and / or solar system may disappear
@@Danny2462 that's only a minor inconvenience.
"voila; 2.3 seconds later you're there"
Unless they are getting eaten by the kraken.
And dont forget to land on your head for extra safety
No, Danny2462 would have destroyed the universe Pi with the point number of times.
I'm like "what am I gonna watch with dinner", and literally in that second Danny uploads a new video lmao
Sadly, there was no spaghetti in this one :D
I literally thought you said you were gonna watch dinner and was incredibly confused.
lmao why is this so relatable
M A G I C
I'm pretty sure this is an actual idea, skyhook or something.
So you're not far off from reality Danny, and that scares me.
Kurzgesagt? Oh yeah, cultured individual, Danny scares us all naturally and we can't help but come back to be scared again every time XD
@@Avetho indeed

I too enjoy existensial dread.
I guess it kinda works like that
closing the visor at 3:29 is so funny to me

Oh, some poor Kerbal is about to get it on my science sandbox world now!
@@jeffreykirkley6475 oh god poor kerbal.
Concept: Use this to launch kerbals at a planet on the other side of the system; have another craft in orbit there to catch them.
skyhook be like :

They could just grab a ladder to stop. A huge wall of ladders as a net.
1:21 "don't judge me"
I *WILL* judge you, Danny. I will judge you to be awesome and extremely talented. So there!
if the sun has re-entry then it should have an atmosphere. Then, could you spam parachutes and radiators and "land" on it?
unfortunately it's similar to Jool in that there's a point at which ship parts are just deleted (-250m afaik), there's no actual surface and just a kill plane
I've tried, I can never reach the upper atmosphere without exploding. Should revisit that, might still be doable with more radiator spam
@@Pacca64 radiators won't really help, you need heat shields and fairings
@@blockmath_2048 I used heat shields and radiators stacked together in excess. Might try out fairings as well next time. The issues is that once the heat shields reach their limit, everything falls apart.
@@Pacca64 Don't use ablative heat shields. Use the 10m ones.
Next time: "What if I turn on infinite max temp, and then aerobrake over THE SUN?"
This video has the most cursed thumbnail I have ever seen from you.

yes, the sun has reentry: it's atmosphere is 0.1x the pressure of kerbin at its sea level, but it extends out as far as kerbin's entire radius
NO YOU CAN'T LAUNCH KERBALS USING LADDERS, IT'S UNREALISTIC!!!!!1!!111!!
Danny2462: haha kerbal go space
Kerbal go K E R B O L
Haha Kerbal go spaaaaaa
But is it a ladder, or a stepladder?
@@SephirothRyu What are you doing to that Kerbal, Stepladder!?
@@Pyxis10 wondering where the Kerbal version of Phoenix Wright is.
concept: try to land on specific planets using this system. idk if there is a time slowdown mod, but maybe you could use that to aim better
better timewarp mod can accelerate or deccelerate both normal timewarp and physics timewarp so yeah, it exists
kerbal space program: the only game where science is physics and physics is physics and science is physics and broken
what?
*exactly*
3:17 reentry sound affects rapidly intensify

Your on the catapult and Danny cant aim: PANIK
Danny can use map to aim: calm
Danny aims you to the sun: PANIK
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture
The poor doomed Kerbal
Icarus
Me: there the same picture
Happy Halloween, danny. Celebrating with sending kerbals onto the sun, reasonable
Put the ladders on decouplers so you don’t have to worry about switching to the kerbal.
Now you just gotta do the same with a docking port and fling a whole craft!
3:17 Asemone became a ^^^king meteor
time to *exploit this discovery to mass relay my kerbals to jool* :D
AMAZIN!
However the Kraken dislikes precision and will consume many vessels for being tamed like this
Finally, a man who is brave enough to go to the sun (Kerbol)
3:28 "You're scared? No you are not"
XD
idea: use this same trick in order to launch a whole ship, massive ΔV save
Going into space? What a novel concept in kerbal space program
This is how Kerbals make their Kolloween themed rides
You sir are a MAD genius, Never stop
Bring your lander to every no-atmosfere planet in single launch
*I love the scent of burning kerbals*
this channel is essentially Danny creating MEGA drives....
and yes, a MEGA drive is a thing that exists in the realm of propulsion (at least.... theoretically, the tests aren't going so well so far)
Yeah, it wash called the "Sega genesis" in the US
I see potential for an interplanetary Kerbal return system.
Trapped in Eeloo orbit? No problem! Just *S P I N* and you'll come flying right back home!
Parachutes not included.
Kerbal cannon technology has come a long way.
Jool 5 with ladders - one Kerbal per moon!
I have an idea: hook something to the kerbal when doing this
Oh look, Danny's invented the skyhook. Take notes, NASA.
5:00 ah yes, useful for sun aerobreaking 😂
I came from your "25 things tô do with asteroids vídeo" and im happy i did
And the best thing about it
SQUAD is currently unlikely to fix it.
I think this game made made for you
Make an SSTO, but instead of giving kerbals a proper storage instead they are just piled into the mark 3 cargo hold. Much more efficient kerbal density than those “crew capsules”
I mean... a horizontal spin would just be as effective, but you'd hit more atmosphere.
Plus you'd get more speed out of it, in my opinion.
Sun: exists
Danny: i know im going to do today
3:27 absolute face of terror
Why did I get selected by HIM!?
The sun has an atmosphere but it's super not dense
Skyhawks are a staying in KSP now huh. Great work Danny
noice, I gotta try more with this
WE MUST REJOICE IN HIS RETURN!
Ah yes, the single most bugged kerbal install in the history of man.. And it's player
Btw Danny Balsa is back if u want to make a series on it
hahaha @ header of patreon list: "if you're on this list, you can choose not to be launched!"
When you move the arrows, does it keep it still relative to the craft, or relative to its original position? If it's relative to the craft, could you in theory launch the craft to insane speeds, then launch a kerbal at significantly higher speeds?
relative to position.
@@blockmath_2048 imagine combining it with a warp drive mod....
So, using The Golden Ratio to create entire star systems
Just what everyone needed
Use an overclocked engine to escape from the surface of the sun.
You madlad
but nothing beats Halloween two years ago
always a good day when Danny posts
Stairway to Heaven, Ladder to Heaven? Eh, same difference.
Now do a duna mission with this
What do you use to edit your vids?
Try playing Gas Station Simulator. You can fling cars with the broom.
Idea: use only the KV1, 2, and 3 to get to the Mün
Spinning on the long axis will give you more rpm
Put the ladder on a decoupler
this is actually how an orbital tether is used to shoot objects into space without a rocket
Tether?
@@Calbjrd Thanks I will now fix it. I still dont think a tether coming through the atmsphere at Mach 10 is able to carefully pick something off the ground and throw it into space.
I wonder if you can do this with couplers or claws and just yeet them into theoretical warp?
God I love this channel
*opens game
* breaks it
Is there a way you could use this combined with a decoupler to launch a payload at a planet?
Can you do the same trick with docking ports and launch a landercan or similar?
I heard that RA2 Tim Curry sample.
Are you allowed into the KSP2 Beta or are they scared of what you'll do to it?
To orbit chair only challenge
Hold on, if the sun has reentry that mean it has an atmosphere! Can you fly on the sun????? Or do other fun atmosphere related things?
technically yea but the cooling needed would be phenomenal and air engines wouldn't work
kerbal spin program
Danny doesn’t use victims, he uses *forced voluntary participants.*
Those are Telus Mobility Enhancement Devices, I don't know why you call them "ladders"
Create a giant soccer ball
Make a submarine for Eve!
Mass relay, please!
1:20 Judge this person
Isn't just a kerbal skyhook?
So... heliobraking?
omg hes back
"SPAAAAACE!"
So, paragliding on the sun when?
Why not just spin the craft around its vertical axis...? lol
sun go brrr
HOW
Why tho
3 dislikes : the Sun, the ladder, and the victim.
