The sun is 1.4 million kilometres in diameter, and it is surprisingly hard to throw something into it.
The more important question is how much of our night sky the moon takes up, and the answer is only 0.5 degrees.
How much is that in hamburgers? Sorry I only understand freedom units
0.5° is 0.00873 radians
Approximately .075 hamburger at arms length
I think you meant 5/64 of a hamburger.
I was told that the concept of decimal is too hard to understand compared to fractions.
Unfortunately you’re completely wrong here. Americans, burgers, and fractions don’t mix well.
Third pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder
Degrees are the freedom unit!
Turkey at distance is the proper measure here. That’s a Turkey at I’d reckon 10 football fields.
More importantly, the full moon occupies 0.00077% of our sky, and is moving at 1.022 km/s around the earth. Suffice to say, if you land on the moon, you’ve done something incredible.
Yeah, it’s a funny meme, but a basic understanding of physics reaaaallly flips it on its’ head.
A basic understanding
of physicsJust “a basic understanding”, yeah
Having played Kerbal Space Program, orbital mechanics and ballistics make that diameter a lot smaller than one might anticipate. It’s pretty easy to fuck up.
This gave me flashbacks to being a new Kerbal Space Program player.
Someday I’ll rescue Jeb from his awkward Solar orbit.
There is a one button solution to lost Kerbalnauts…
True
I did the perfect shot, but then it just move out of the way >=\
Do not underestimate the amount of “Hold my beer” that people possess. :-P
Sounds like someone hasn’t considered the challenges of achieving escape velocity…
Then you remember that he’s in a 2’407’100 km void.
You could easily fuck it up more. Like, shoot in the opposite direction, or shoot for the sun. Hell, you could just blow the rocket up altogether. Guys, it’s so easy to fuck it up waaayyy more.
Yeah well escape velocity >: (
YOU DO IT
