My favorite sci-fi solution to how ships would have gravity is the very realistic idea in the Expanse. Ships have decks perpendicular to the direction of thrust, like a big tower. When the engine is firing, there's gravity. When the engine is out, they use magnetic boots to stay on the floor. And big space stations are spun up to rotate fast enough to generate gravity. I love that the characters in the books/show act like this kind of environment is perfectly natural to them. Like, in one of the first episodes two characters are on a ship which suddenly loses engines, so everyone starts floating. They are drifting and can't reach anything to grab. So they attach themselves together with a cord, and one character kicks off of another. Newton takes the wheel and the guy flies back far enough to grab onto something, and then pulls the other character in. Like Ceri's idea for the yo-yo thing!
Having John Green on the show would be amazing, John Hodgeman would be too. I was going to suggest Tom Scott (an expert in random knowledge/trivia shows), Brady Harran (for his delightful personality) or Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy (for the same reason)... but then I realized you already brought on an amazing guest host: Ceri's kitty cat, who added a subtle calm & cozy vibe to the show!
Hank: "Who would you want to guest on the podcast?" Me: "Hank and Ceri will pick scientists, and Sam will pick a random person." Hank: "Alf." Ceri: "Taika Waititi." Sam: "No one, everyone scares me." Welp, serves me right for making snap judgments about people 😂
Pretty sure he said everyone except John Green scared him. Which seems exceedingly fair. John is like the most reassuring-sounding person since Bob Ross. 😂
Oh, and to be fair to Hank, basically *all* classical computers (as opposed to quantum ones) "just add", even today. It's amazing how much you can do when you add enough things in the right order with enough speed 😁 (No, but literally, all the other mathematical operations of a computer are built upon addition.)
Holy crap Biosphere 2!!! As a University of Arizona alumnus, this makes me so happy. As an aside, if you guys ever came to Tucson, that would be so happy, and I'd love to let you know all the places you should go eat because Tucson has some DANG GOOD restaurants.
I would totally be into a Biodome from the dome itself episode! I got to visit Biosphere 2 as a kid. So much fun checking out all the different exhibits.
I didn't know there is a galaxy between the Kuiper Belt and the Oord cloud. This gaffe did inspire me to look up what is 13 billion MILES away from Earth. If Hank hasn't seen Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home lately, he should, because it is one of the best Star Trek films, and Scotty makes a similar mistake.
I really love scishow and I think sciehow kids is such a great idea. I feel that the channel would be more accessible if the pace of the videos slowed down. I am a special education teacher, so my students especially would benefit from more room to process the information. Sorry to leave this feedback on a tangents video, love you 3 and the show. Thanks for making quality educational content accessible so accessible!
Love all you guys and your show, and your banter is always hilarious! My favorite part was Sam's throwback to the Whipple bumper when talking about the telescope that was great 😂
I would love to get Gordon shumway and or john on the podcast. Also i am not surprised sam knew Alf's name out of everyone. Thanks for another great episode
@@SciShowTangents Don't know if anyone will read this at this late date. Is Gordon Shunway actually based off Gordon Sumner? Also, the talk about inertial guidance systems seems like you are mixing up two different, but similar, things. There may be inertial guidance systems that still use small, spinning gyroscopes, although we have fiber optic "gyroscopes" that have no moving parts to take the place of the actual rotating gyroscopes for detecting rotation. The gyroscopes that are used to stabilize and rotate spacecraft are called reaction wheels, momentum wheels, or control moment gyroscopes. These are very large and heavy compared to anything used for inertial guidance.
Guest host suggestions... Dustin Sandlin from smarter every day, Neil Degrassi Tyson, John Green (I know you can make this happen), Michael from vsauce, or Adam Savage!
My ideal guest host is.... me 😅 I can dream lol. For realsies though, I'd love to see Caitlin Doughty from Ask a Mortician/Order of the Good Death. Ooooh or Michael from Vsauce!
Formula 1 cars have custom shaped seats. its pretty effective considering the drivers are in constant acceleration throughout the race. itll be nice to learn who develop it first.
I was gonna guess the yo-yo weight had something to do with telling which way is "up" on the station. Like the rebound of a yo-yo goes in a different direction than "down"
I think our first spaceship will be the first craft that will be capable of being piloted to and from destination to destination repeatedly through space.
JEFF GOLDBLUM! I swear he can make any topic interesting cuz he's just so odd & whimsical. Taika Waititi would be an amazing guest. If we're going for sciencey people though, Neil DeGrasse Tyson obv.
Ceri was thinking of STS, the shuttle went once, maybe twice a year. Rockets without people onboard? Literally disposable, as in they just drop the booster into the ocean and let the second stage burn up on reentry. And then Elon said "hold my beer" and SpaceX is pretty much sending something up every week or so, and turning around boosters within a month
Can we launch a gravitron into space? Two gravitrons stacked on top of each other rotating in opposite directions? Still sounds less dangerous than two spacecraft holding on by a literal string
I always love seeing Ceri, Sam, and Hank, but really miss HFS, the topics were so fun, and because the topics could be more mature, it let the real weird facts pop up! If y’all ever create something similar please tell me!!
Crazy guest hosts would be people that are famous but not necessarily for being science minded. So, trained Astronaut Lance Bass, for example. Natalie Portman. Eddie Redmayne. Brian May. Anne Hathaway. Karlie Kloss. Even Taylor Swift, while I don't think she *studied* for any science classes, she's clearly enough of a nerd to make a magnetic field joke. I'm sure she'd be an interesting curious cat to have as a guest host and would love to talk about something different, for once.
A ship cannot be assembled on the shore. When we start assembling spacecraft in orbit and those fly from there to other places, that's when i will call them spaceships.
Computers in 1969 could get a nuke to within two miles of its target, or a primate into LEO. The men (and women, in the Soviet program) didn't have to push buttons, they were literally just cargo. The landings on the moon were entirely automated too, aside from Apollo 11, when Neil Armstrong had an issue with the pre-selected landing site took manual control to set the lander down in a flatter place. On STS, there had to be at least one person on board -- to lower the landing gear. Because the test pilots complained so much about being Spam in a can and not getting to push buttons, NASA said "Fine, here's a button."

Ceri turned the lights on! :D
I'm a Real Video Professional now (or just slightly less of a bing bong).
@@ceriley Absolutely!
Dream guest = Ze Frank
"yeah so yeah so, they used the whipple bumper...on the space station" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No comprendo

Inertial nav platforms are used on aircraft to track aircraft position independent from GPS.
Submarines also use inertial nav. Prior to GPS airplanes also used inertial nav especially overseas flights.
I feel like I have a Whipple Bumper made out of deflection feelings.
My dream guest host would be Matt from PBS SpaceTime!!

Turn the speed down on the video. They still sound normal....maybe a little drunk. But still understandable. The scishow videos are amazing. ❤

Talking about a ship in space...Starship Titanic by Douglas Adams and Terry Jones is awesome.
Modern spacecraft are not spaceships because they are spaceboats
I'm waiting for my space RV

Hay Vsause, Michael here
Edit: also Nielred
Adam Savage would be amazing! Also I second Nile Red, he also has a podcast so potential for cross overs.
I'd say our atmosphere is pretty good lid. Many planets don't have such a lovely lid or their lid is so heavy it crushes everything.
My ideal guest host is.... me 😅 I can dream lol. For realsies though, I'd love to see Caitlin Doughty from Ask a Mortician/Order of the Good Death. Ooooh or Michael from Vsauce!
I think my guest host choices would be Emily Calandrelli (TheSpaceGal) or FoodScienceBabe. I love both their content about science!
Formula 1 cars have custom shaped seats. its pretty effective considering the drivers are in constant acceleration throughout the race. itll be nice to learn who develop it first.
Sci-Show crew, you should look up the Rendevous mission. Very spaceshippy.
The folks in Project Hail Mary (by Andy Weir) got things sorted out nicely after the experiment Ceri talked about!
I was gonna guess the yo-yo weight had something to do with telling which way is "up" on the station. Like the rebound of a yo-yo goes in a different direction than "down"
I think our first spaceship will be the first craft that will be capable of being piloted to and from destination to destination repeatedly through space.
Or the first manned mission intended not to return to the earth, whichever comes first.
JEFF GOLDBLUM! I swear he can make any topic interesting cuz he's just so odd & whimsical. Taika Waititi would be an amazing guest. If we're going for sciencey people though, Neil DeGrasse Tyson obv.
The space shuttle is 100% a spaceship
Ceri was thinking of STS, the shuttle went once, maybe twice a year. Rockets without people onboard?

Yeah I prefer the original hfc format.
Space carousel!
George Jetson, you know he was born a couple days ago?
July 31, 2022. We have entered the space age officially
Did you go to biosphere 2??? I live 15 minutes away!
Not yet but we REALLY want to!
I want the Green parents, so many questions would be answered, what were they like as kids? Are they as smart as their children? Etc.

I %100 guarantee that Elon Musk calls his 'spaceship' 😂
What's everyone's favourite spaceships? I'd say "fictional" spaceships but I guess we've now determined all space*ships* are fictional, so..
Mine's the Planet Express from Futurama! Because it runs on Nibbler poop.
40k's Ork spaceships. They're all so stupid
There are airships. Not all boats.
Idk why but I always assumed sam was asain.
Ugh, I'm so disappointed in you guys. A Star Trek style Whipple bumper would be made out of transparent aluminum.
cat
Wait, Sam is the fan favorite? Sorry, Sam, but I disagree.
ow my heart - sam
@@SciShowTangents I love you, too, but in the interest of honesty, if the three of you were on a spaceship, and I could only beg one of you to stay...
