  • you can't use the sun for a gravitational assist.

  • it would have been a good idea to number the 10 videos in the correct order e.g. Video 1 of 10.... Video 2 of 10...

  • Solar activity is way speeded up for this movie. but I'm not complaining.

  • @WarriorLeonardo Yes, but not with current technology.

  • I'm sorry but is this even theoretically possible to approach the Sun that close and use it to sling shot at that speed to get to Jupiter a lot faster than they normally could? I know this is science fiction that could very well be science in a few years. Any chance we could really do this someday?
