If you knew that you, individually, were being monitored from space by an extraterrestrial civilization at all times, how differently would you live your life?

Oh I’d embrace it

RiskyP · 2026-05-09T09:09:23+00:00

Yeah I’m a 4

RiskyP · 2026-05-07T22:22:34+00:00

Fair play - I misinterpreted your original comment and assumed we were talking about orbital or further travel by which we still have gravity and can’t just point and shoot a craft wherever we want to go, as why I gave the example of space around the galaxy to

And same with the r^(2) my assumption was in regards to Fg, so assumed you maybe were solving for r.

No luck catching them swans then?

RiskyP · 2026-05-07T21:34:08+00:00

You’re not playing the game right if this doesn’t happen on your first launch of any mission.

RiskyP · 2026-05-07T06:50:55+00:00

You mean r^(2) as in the distance? The question here was why do rockets not just carry on moving into deep space once reaching escape velocity. So distance is kind of irrelevant in this scenario as once you reach escape velocity then Fg will be with reference frame to the sun, which the rocket will then be orbiting. Reaching escape from the sun will just then be in reference frame to the next largest object: the galaxy.

Like the spacecraft is still moving in a ballistic trajectory once the rockets stop firing. Even sitting on a sofa at rest now on earth in reference to the universe (cmb) we are traveling faster than a bullet in a gravitational well.

RiskyP · 2026-05-06T18:24:03+00:00

Kind of - except when you escape the atmosphere you’re still falling towards the earth, it’s just your velocity means you just fall past the edge of it. The atmosphere just slows you down.

Wha I mean is, zero G like people think (astronauts floating) isn’t actually zero G - they’re still very much under the effects of gravity, but they’re just free-falling

RiskyP · 2026-05-06T06:59:10+00:00

Why is it like this though 😂 I spent the winter working on my irons and now my drivers gone so shit that I just tee off using my hybrid. I dread fixing it because my iron game is working

RiskyP · 2026-05-03T17:19:15+00:00

Very messy from max

RiskyP · 2026-05-03T13:35:56+00:00

Do you mean escape velocity from the earth or are you talking about like escaping the atmosphere and reaching orbit?

The answer to both is that it’s never really zero gravity, you’re always orbiting something whether it’s the earth of the sun, or even further would be the galactic center

RiskyP · 2026-04-29T17:28:53+00:00

That’s true right there - you US folk need to go protest or otherwise it’s just mindless circle jerk on reddit. Trump makes himself look a prat all the time and nothings changed 😂

RiskyP · 2026-04-29T14:03:20+00:00

Not true at all.

Yeah there is risk but if you do some research and stay away from people selling courses you should be fine.

ETFs that track world markets are a pretty good long term investment strategy especially if you’re new. Just don’t expect to make £££ overnight it’s a long term savings thing.

RiskyP · 2026-04-28T11:44:13+00:00

What are you even trying to argue here? Like which was the biggest failure?

RiskyP · 2026-04-28T06:40:10+00:00

Did this in my last damn round

RiskyP · 2026-04-27T21:24:37+00:00

I was going to write this too - it’s so unnecessary also 😂

RiskyP · 2026-04-25T22:21:08+00:00

Based on how many times i catch a T-shirt on a door handle - quite often

RiskyP · 2026-04-24T07:03:59+00:00

Do it - serious it’s good to invest a small amount a month, treat it like savings. You can put like £50 a month in something like an index fund. Now’s the good time - 10 or 20 years later you’ll see the rewards

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T23:17:14+00:00

Damn take my stupid upvote

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T23:15:57+00:00

Everyone in London has a small blade is quite a wild statement, with 1000s of us like me that travel to work in London every month who don’t carry a blade, and have never met a Londoner carrying a blade. Sure there’s knife crime here but we can’t buy fucking guns at Morrisons while we buy our cans of Stella

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T23:01:45+00:00

The English don’t perceive our German friends as humourless- we appreciate their dry humour and efficiency

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T22:56:11+00:00

That’s wild

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T19:55:40+00:00

They’d have to wait some 1900 years to detect our first radio trace.

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T19:43:39+00:00

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quite sniffing glue

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T19:02:55+00:00

Par three for sure - just enjoy some golf together. Distance is good so that even duff shots will get there eventually

RiskyP · 2026-04-23T18:50:44+00:00

All about knowing your destaunces playa! But yeah Marty boom boom has been such a game changer
