You hit a bit of a nerve there:
It is vastly easier to get launched into deep space than into the sun. Orbital mechanics is wierd.
I guess that’s because you can use planets/stars gravity as sling?
Counter example: Jupiter was used as a slingshot for the ulysses probe exploring the sun.
Non sequitur, I used to watch Scott Manley when I had a YouTube problem. I love his accent. Especially the way he pronounced explore like explode. My internal voice does that now.
ease be damned
Fair.
He already has the rockets so fuckit, why not use them?
