MushuChupacabra, w China is building a railgun that can hurl crewed spacecraft into orbit

That initial acceleration is gonna be a bit shitty.

TropicalDingdong, w China is building a railgun that can hurl crewed spacecraft into orbit

yeet

lettruthout,

Maybe even megayeet.

But I sure hope they can pull this off.

I hereby dub any crew member sent to space in this manner a Cannonaut.

humans can still function when insane G forces have turned them into jelly right?

atocci, (edited )

While railguns are known for rapidly accelerating projectiles to hypersonic speeds over the short length of a gun barrel, there's no limit on how slowly they can accelerate something or how long the "rail" part of the railgun can be. Accelerating "slowly" over a long distance is totally possible!

Repelle,

Sure, but it’s gonna require one hell of a long rail…

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,

Make it a circular rail with an off-ramp; like a particle accelerator. Still very ambitious.

sushibowl,

That would put the g-forces back in play: the faster you go around the rail the stronger the centripetal force that keeps you going in a circle. If the rail is straight the force only depends on acceleration not speed.

Just to save you guys a click, this is a Google translate of, "some of you may die but that is a risk I'm willing to take"

And not get crushed by the G forces how exactly?

If you want to reach LEO velocity and stay under 5g, you’d need a 860km long railgun…

This was posted in the correct community, because it’s about as real as the hyperloop

kifujin, w Disney+ Is Getting the Most Influential Mecha Anime Series of All Time
@kifujin@kbin.social avatar

I really, really like Macross, but isn't the original Gundam a bit more influential? If we include Super Robot stuff, some early Go Nagai series are probably way up there for influence too. Rocket Punches, etc.

HoustonHenry, w 1980s Sci-Fi Books That Aged Badly (And 4 Still Worth Reading)

Great recommendations…but if you’ve watched “Battlefield Earth”, you’ll understand how good the book is (mildly /s)

I recently read Bloodstone by Karl Edward Wagner, I couldn’t put it down…technically it’s from the 70’s, but who’s counting?

GregorGizeh, w Dune 2's Emperor Miscast Complaints Miss The True Genius Of Christopher Walken's Performance

This reads like AI SEO. So much repetitiveness to stretch a two sentence bit into an article

slazer2au, w 3 Body Problem: Exec Sentenced to Death for Producer's Murder

The Shanghai First Intermediate People’s Court found on March 22 that Xu was guilty of poisoning the food of founder Lin, 39, over a dispute with how the business was being managed. Lin died while in the hospital 10 days after the December incident

The court additionally found that four other individuals fell ill as a result of Xu poisoning drinks in the Yoozoo offices between September and December of that same year, citing disputes with two other coworkers. They all survived

Man, fuck that guy.

@inkican

That's a weird joke

inkican,

What joke? I'm missing something

Anticorp,

There’s no joke. Read the article.

What the actual fuck‽

_sideffect,

I thought this was part of the plot or something

Delphia, w 3 Body Problem: Exec Sentenced to Death for Producer's Murder

Sounds more like a 1 body problem.

amio,

Cringe and not in a good way
