@ereignisfelder You have to have a certain amount of speed to get into orbit
-
@Singh13saab OK: which bullet hits the ground first? the one you accelerate through a gun (perpendicular to the force of gravity) or the one you just simply drop?
-
@ereignisfelder There are small thrusters engines around the probe to keep it stable, but no acceleration is required. Have you ever seen a baseball outfielder make a flat throw towards the infield? It travels parallel to the ground until air resistance slows it down. An object in motion will stay in motion until an another force acts on it. There is a video where Apollo astronauts threw a hammer on the surface of the moon - watch it.
-
@Singh13saab My question was more about programming: Is there a little computer that does all the acceleration? regarding your explanation of orbiting: "air resistance slows it down..." even without that the ball will fall to the ground.
-
@coolbionicle Thats a good point! I have always wondered that the temperature scale is -273 Celsius to infinity, so why is it that we consider 23 celsius to be ideal temperature for life? Isn't 23 on the extremely low end of the scale?
-
@ereignisfelder If you throw a ball on Earth's surface, it will travel parallel to the Earth's surface for a bit until air resistance slow it down enough for it to start coming down. Throw that same ball to hard and it will leave the Earth's gravity. Throw that ball at just the right speed and it will go into free fall around the earth.

Bloody heck, you can't go anywhere on here to watch a bit on Science without religous folk barking on about something.Are they afraid of progress? Or are they afraid their Churches will empty and along with it, their pockets?

Titan is one big methane fuel depot.
Hope we get there before the middle east does.
