"The closer it gets the quicker it will go? I don't get space stuff but this is clever as fuck. They said 5" thick steel and it will orbit the sun. That's not enough to stop it melting though is it?" the closer in it get the faster the orbit becomes .... bit like the water going round the plug hole | |||

It's bloody clever stuff this. Why they doing it? I didn't catch that bit | |||
"The closer it gets the quicker it will go? I don't get space stuff but this is clever as fuck. They said 5" thick steel and it will orbit the sun. That's not enough to stop it melting though is it?" Sending it at night when it's cooler  | |||
"I'm not really into the solar system as your about to tell. Bbc news are running a story this morning about the launch by NASA of this rocket and probe which will go and check out the sun. Yeah Yeah and all that and then my attention was grabbed with: It will travel at 100 miles per second. So what? It's the equivalent of London to Sydney in 88 seconds. Just read that again.... How the fuck have they managed that? That's like UFO speed. *it's just been delayed again, this time by 24 hours." Hmmm...time to introduce lateral thinking... Perhaps its not 'travelling' in the conventional sense...maybe is less about the speed & more about reducing the distance it has to travel...space has different laws of physics after all... | |||

The spacecraft will use four instrument suites designed to study electric and magnetic fields, plasma, and energetic particles, as well as image the solar wind. The mission will trace how energy moves through the solar corona and explore what accelerates the solar wind and solar energetic particles, enabling critical contributions to our ability to forecast changes in Earth’s space environment that impact life and technology on our planet. Parker Solar Probe is part of NASA’s Living With a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society." | |||

"I'll never understand all this stuff I'm too old now. Credit to them scientists though." It's hardly rocket science...  | |||

"Haha very funny, if that speed is truth, then we can't see the take off and if we question them they would say it is very quick and it has gone to Mercury already... "I think it's your usual take off. Looks like it's packed full of vapours. Then gets higher than the empire state building and they hit the turbos. | |||

"If you took one minute to type that message, you travelled 1176 miles in the time it take you to do so. 67,000mph - that's the speed this ball of molten metal is travelling at through space. " That's quicker than the speed of Jizz as it leave the testicle/s | |||
"If you took one minute to type that message, you travelled 1176 miles in the time it take you to do so. 67,000mph - that's the speed this ball of molten metal is travelling at through space." Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at 900 miles an hour. It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, The sun that is the source of all our power. Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day, In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars; It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side; It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point, We go 'round every two hundred million years; And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, In all of the directions it can whiz; As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth! | |||

"When does it get hot as you approach the sun? If there's no air molecules is there anything to heat up? Space is freezing right?" Are you serious? So how does the sun heat us up? It's called 'radiation'. Heat energy doesn't need a nedium like air to travel through. I'm guessing you found school a bit of a drag. | |||

erm ... it's a song by monty python dude

Yeah roger cheers for that everyone's seen monty python! haha
I was speaking reference your previous comments, dude.

so you are the clever one now ... i see
I was never not the clever one. I have always been the clever one.
If you're so clever, why are you on this forum and not on this space astronaut sun rocket program thingymajigger?

"I find it absolutely fascinating... The closer it gets the speed will increase - quite similar to a gravitational pull ( correct me if I’m wrong , I probably am ) " No you are correct. The Sun’s gravity will cause it to accelerate. It’s mass will increase and time will get slower for it. Relativistically speaking. | |||
