  1. Youll still need 10 tonnes of rocket fuel for after the balloon reaches max height… How bigs the balloon going to be to carry 10 tonnes? And how often is it going to pop? Were talking about carrying expensive crap for various investors. How tough are your balloons? How big? How reliable? And how high is it carrying the 10 tonne rocket? And 10 ton is likely an understatement. Were still starting from essentially zero m/s

  2.  @galbutler  Sorry for the “attack” additude. Thats how science is and should be, kinda like law. Just gotta ATTACK anything anyone says until they freakin prove it works, then theres still people ATTACKING it non stop. Thats good science. No room for any crap, is it gonna work or is it a stupid waste of time? You come up with an idea, YOU should attack it from all angles, making sure theres nothing weak about your design or idea or observation or mathematics.

  3. Maybe splashing oils and moisture all over your vacuum chamber can cause some issues for later use

  4. Oh, no they dont. TWIN TETHERS. But that sounds like a pain in the ass, no? Thats twin motors, twin material use, twin height dimension for volume, twin damage if it blasts apart or implodes or fractures.

  5. Yeah david and goliath.. That sling sack thing with the rock in it. I can imagine some little hyper velocity chamber launching little BBs at 2000m/s, automatic fire mode would be insane.

  6. Were getting pretty good with precision as humans

  7. Yeah but by definition all satellites are falling. Thats what you said to prove theres “no such thing” but you’re right. Satellites do fall constantly. You remember isaac newton right?

  8.  @toymak3275  So you’re brain doesn’t know what to do with things like “F=ma” and you lash out at science for fun?

  9.  @toymak3275  You could probably gather data by watching venus and mars, or just use the data ALL OF our ancestors generated, then use satellites pinging radar from equiped universities and gather the precise distance from both those planets from earth using the speed of light constant, or simply look at the data this cultures ANCESTORS gathered along with many other cultures; and draw yourself a picture of the ellipse of earths orbit, or you could use the radar guns in real time over a few months and get a good idea of the moon’s elliptical orbit around the earth. Which is not necessarily a mandatory orbit, just by far most common. Or you could just look at the data we have now idiot

  10. Diversity? No we can only use literally educated people for this kind of work.

  11. Why?

  12.  @1965ace  Nah its like being hit with billions of microscopic buckshot pellets at those speeds. Liquids like water are often far far denser than gasses like the atmosphere, with things like surface tension making it an issue. Air makes a rocket hot through friction, but puts major brick wall forces on anything NON AERODYNAMIC. If we were shooting a square shaped payload or an upside down parachute shaped payload, then yeah i can see ur point. But its a rocket shape, it pierces the air regardless.

  13.  @1965ace  With this machine all the force is delivered once the machine “lets go.” From then on all its doing is slowing down.

  14.  @1965ace  Thats the whole problem. Throw the thing as fast as you can reliably without issue.

  15. A scientist synthesised a new species of bacteria in 2010. We created life already. This spinny magig is a great idea but its hardly a marvel. Its literally davids weapon he used against goliath.

  16. The government didn’t spend money on them. Investors did. Normal, lucky, entrepreneurs investors.

  17. Unless its underground.

  18.  @mitchellminer9597  “All of a sudden a mach 6 projectile has appeared from enemy territory sir! NO LAUNCH SIGNATURE! IT APPEARS TO BE GUIDED SIR!” Not a bad idea for tactical nukes

  19. Thats why science is a thing. Everyone assumes everything everytime until someone actually does the experiment. “Giant balloon? Nah thats stupid.” “Giant spinning machine? Nah thats even stupider!” “Giant elevator? Mmh maybe” But in reality the science baffles us all and the stupid spinny machine actually is a very good idea.
    1
  20. Yeah the elevators starting to seem stupid unless we go all out and build a megastructure in space l.

  21. Yeah but it is working

  22. What heat?

  23. Nothing living and bipedal, but well made electronics etc shouldn’t have a problem.

  24. Your second point is probably whats going to happen so you based your first point on the second point and said there is “no point.” Furthermore, everyone who says furthermore is 50+ and stupid.

  25. Then you have a small mind. These are nerds. Geeks. Mergatroids. They’re all snarly and antisocial and hunchbacked. But they hold the key to knowledge. Not wisdom, knowledge. Scientific knowledge. We should respect those people in our society. “The government” doesn’t create all brilliant new things, nerds do.

  26.  @galbutler  YEA SCIENCE BICH

  27. U gona be bustin ass changin out rockets while maintaining vacuum ass conditions n shieeet dawg it aint all that

  28. They literally already do that. Your welcome.

  29.  @marginbuu212  Oh yeah ive seen twin fans in rocket engines etc, and a counterweight of any shape could actually work, even the counter tether being the one that releases the counterweight! What a brilliant idea i just had!

  30. Proud of you mate! Science is an interesting thing. No reason to hate it if you haven’t got the time to study it! Its just dudes working out problems!

  31. No humans can be launched with this technology.

  32. We’ve already got capable materials surprisingly. We just need billionaires who want to build a space ladder. *cough, Elon cough*

  33. Lol its a creative idea but we need dense liquid hydrogen in massive available quantities. The balloon of its uncompressed gasses would be like the size of a city

  34. Yeah pidgeon or a leafsitting on the door or something.

  35. Has to be “instant” though. Physics wont help you with that one so that would be a constant development burden when all you’re trying to simulate is the same mass being released at both ends. Just have a mirroring counter tube thats still vacuum but closes behind the projectile and smashes into an armour plate box for recycling. All particulates remain in that chamber. When you build your payload to be launched, you weigh it, grab your hollow dummy counterweight, fill it up with and secure and harden the insides, max density, until its the same weight as your rocket. The rocket isnt fully built and ready to launch until you slap together an equal mass counterweight.

  36. When did he say that? About what?

  37.  @HannoFalk  For sure.

  38. Finish the video
    1
  39. Nah new carbon materials are blowing all that crap out of the water. We’ve got materials strong enough now for all sorts of crazy crap, and they’re new. I think they mention it in the video with the material they used and already tested.

  40. Shut up you kak the secret to neutralising gravity is to close your eyes and block your ears and say lalalalalalala science isnt real lalalalallalalalala tesla was legit einstein lied lalalalalalala this is how science world lalalalalalalala

  41. THEN you have some serious fkn gforce issues, similar to conventional cannons.
    1
  42.  @Luke-zb4hm  I think the initial takeoff could detonate fuel, destroy food, couldnt launch enough water and yea maybe liquid o2 tanks could be shot at satellites..?
    1
  43.  @Luke-zb4hm  But then its a freaking stupid wasteful expensive idea
    1
  44. Obviously yes

  45. Lmao yeah nobody is ever being sent anywhere in one of those things buddy trust me.
    1
  46.  @muddyfalcon  Then we might as well just use a pressure cannon and rifled barrel. Then we might as well just use an explosive projectile.. Thats a cannon. We stopped doing that in the 60s. This is a lot “smoother” than dealing with gasses at all.

  47. Yeah he said a capacitor got bent over slightly due to the G forces, meaning all it did was bend the steel legs. But i can see soldered joints being vibrated apart and components getting rattled from shakey turbulent launches

  48. Should try to induce “rifling” or a pre spin before launching the projectile.
