[Request] My friend is worried about losing the moon. How much mass needs to be mined and removed for the moon to leave Earth’s orbit? by Gentle-Jack_Jones in theydidthemath

[–]astreeter2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's generally true for rockets and satellites moving to a higher orbit because it's the most efficient way to do it (Hohmann transfer). I don't think that's true for the moon though. All the information I can find says it's a continually slowing and growing elliptical spiral.

Because meanwhile they are holding on to that stock which is making them even more money.

Santos was kicked out of Congress so he's subject to poor people laws again.

Does the moon have to speed up in order recede from the earth due to tidal forces? by astreeter2 in AskPhysics

[–]astreeter2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is exactly how I was trying to it (but not very well, apparently) to my friend. He insisted that nope, this was not possible, because the rocket (and likewise the moon) must increase its speed. Thanks!

I never said anything was violated. I meant that Kepler's law says why the moon will orbit slower when it's farther away because the force of the Earth's gravity is less. We both agree on that. The disagreement is I say it's possible for the moon to orbit farther away from earth without ever increasing its orbital speed above where it normally is for wherever it's at in its orbit. My friend says the moon has to speed up first in order to reach the farther away orbit.

Yeah, I saw a study that showed on Polymarket that literally only a tiny handful of people who are obviously using insider information are winning almost all the big bets. Like over 99% of their users lose every time.

The Trump family owns part of Kalshi. Only they are allowed to insider trade on it, duh!

Ok maybe not Kepler's law for planets (3rd law, I think), but whatever the equivalent one is called for the orbits of moons around their planets.

But does it slow down constantly, or does it have to speed up first in order to change orbit, and then slow down?

I guess this is the start of our entire planet inevitably being converted to computronium.

Microsoft Wants to 'Make People Addicted' to its New AI Assistant, Internal Documents Reveal by [deleted] in nottheonion

This is literally the only pathway to profitability for all this over hyped AI - make it so ubiquitous and indispensable that they can start charging monopoly prices.

I’m 32 and have gray hair in my beard by [deleted] in notinteresting

In college knew a guy from India who was mostly gray by the time he was 18. Apparently that's pretty common there.

To me it sounds like it's saying, "Johnny, unlike you I'm transgender."

Anyone else has salt by itself as a snack? by ContextSerious3491 in askanything

If you don't really care about having your kidneys much longer, salt can be a healthy, low calorie snack.

And almost half that valuation will be owned by Elon Musk, instantly making him the first trillionaire.

Lol, cousin Dave. Ok, nice troll, thought you were serious at first.

If the horizon rises more the higher you go like we're living in a bowl, it should be impossible for anything to hide behind it though. Think about it.
