<Eddi|zuHause>
let me rephrase that: isn't every *successful* rocket like that? :p
<Eddi|zuHause>
and by "successful" i mean "reached space"
<darsie>
If you don't succeed at first, redefine success.
<Eddi|zuHause>
also, leaving out a lot of things that reached space by other means, like being hit by a nuclear explosion, or a meteorite impact, or being lighter than air, or ...
<darsie>
Bouyance won't get you to space.
<Eddi|zuHause>
well, individual helium atoms regularly reach space
<darsie>
If I get my mind uploaded it could be transmitted to space, e.g. with radio or laser.
<Eddi|zuHause>
transporting things with them, maybe not
<Eddi|zuHause>
i think photons count as "lighter than air" :p
<darsie>
Depends on density ;).
<darsie>
One way to make a black hole could be to shoot enough photons to one place.
<Eddi|zuHause>
that gets us to "nuclear explosion" territory :p
<darsie>
Photons don't have nuclei ;).
<Eddi|zuHause>
no, but you have to emit the photons somehow :p
<darsie>
Yeah, that might be done by pumping a laser medium with nukes :).
<Eddi|zuHause>
remember when people were scared the LHC could create micro black holes? :p
<Eddi|zuHause>
!outcome add Luckily, the micro black hole dissipated quickly.

I would like to spur a thought experiment called First Can on the Moon, a new Space Race. Basically, what would it take to safely land a soda can on the moon, empty except for a 25 gram beacon, communication and sensor array, with an antenna and solar panel on the outside? Could KSP and calculations be used to develop scenarios. Assuming a traditi

Your craft's fuel line connections are sealed by chewed bubblegum?
<XXCoder>
yep. likely failed to launch due to it lol
<darsie>
I offered a correction.
<XXCoder>
craft's os incorrect grammar. it means "craft is"
<darsie>
I thought so, too, once.
<darsie>
ChatGPT: "My bag's handle broke" is the correct sentence if you are referring to a single bag and indicating that the handle belonging to that specific bag broke. Here, "bag's" is a possessive form, indicating that the handle belongs to the bag.
<darsie>
"My bags handle broke" would be the correct sentence if you are referring to multiple bags and indicating that the handle of one or more of your bags broke. In this case, "bags" is plural, and "handle" is used in a collective sense, referring to the handles of the bags as a group.
