- After facing off with the horrors of Galactic Hitman, Nerdcubed decided that the best solution would be to send all copies of the game into the sun. As it happens this is harder than most people realise, so I prepared a demonstration using realistic scaled Kerbal Space Program.

I died when he said he should have gone at night.
Me too XD
+Colecraft13 Lost it! Pity those people who genuinely agree wtih him
+Colecraft13 RIP
+Colecraft13 Yup one of his best comments yet :D

You can't go at night. the sun would be in the dark and you couldn't find it
James Monahan No, dumb dumb. During the night the sun still emits what’s called “invisible light.” That’s the reason the mun still shines but you can’t see the sun. So you simply do several scans across several points, and triangulate from there. Much easier than what he did. Yes I’m fun at parties.
@@jordonbrewer2354 But doesn't moon have light of its own?
@@anunayy yeah just wait for a full moon and you'll see well enough.
but you could use GPS at night if the sun is dark 🤯
At night it’s called the moon
4:42 "Luckily I brought a heatshield with ablative material... and it's gone."
"I should have taken more precautions and flown in by night" - Priceless ;-p
i chuckled at that too :-)
that cracked me up, its so hilarious
for a moment there I found myself nodding in agreement ... what a dumb-ass!
Roland ten Napel loved this too haha
David Merriman me too lol
*Displays advanced knowledge of orbital mechanics as he performs a complicated gravity assist into the sun*
*spacecraft disintegrates before reaching the surface*
"Darn, should have gone at night"
fair synopsis for those who can't be arsed to follow it
"I'm Scott Manley, fly -safe- into the sun."
Nooooooo, you shouldn't have used that strikethrough on the word "safe". Someone else could have smartassed about it because you can't fly safely into the sun. WHY MUST YOU HOG ALL THE HUMOR FOR YOURSELF
I did the same thing with the duck song
Hahaha you actually did it? I absolutely love that little love-affair that's going on between you and Nerd³ on youtube.
+Schindlabua no
A collab video!
+Schindlabua Yeah it's pretty great.
+Schindlabua No true Scotsman would have a love affair with an Englishman.
+Schindlabua It is bad@$$ to see Scott and Dan having a back and forth in their videos!!

Best comment ever
You're doing it all wrong Scott! The Sun is too hot to land on unless you go in Winter!! For God Sake!
Oh now that was priceless
Just aim for the poles, it’s always colder at the poles.
What would happen if he goes in a winter night?
3:41 A small burn of a million delta-V
It was a 285 m/s burn...
+Mind Blow actually its donald trump
+KLOP5 Plot twist: it was a rocket full of immigrants.
Yeah thats actually pretty small
Waiting for Kerbal Co-Op with Dan.
+Alex Pratt
Scott: Can you build a satellite for me to dock at?
Dan: Sure
10 minutes later
Scott: What happened to Kerbin?
Dan: My full name is Danny.
+Liam Evans Alright, I'll give you that...
not bad.
YES.
+Liam Evans I don't understand
Oskar636 You will learn my child, you will learn ;D
Amazing how fast you answered Nerd³'s call of distress!
+Yorick .U More like the Universe's call
I just know that someone thinks it makes sense to go at night.
For Baja SAE we had to make our truck float. A young liberal arts degree seeker asked me what's the deepest water it could float in. I managed to keep a straight face and tell her that it could float in water up to 100 feet deep, but any deeper than that and it would sink. She looked concerned for my safety so I assured her they made sure the area we drove was never more than 20 feet deep.
I didn't want to leave her misinformed so I told her I was joking, but I don't think she got it.
Another asked me how long it took to drive to Hawaii. I told her 56 hours, and I slept at rest stops in my car and exclusively ate beef en-route. She also asked me the current exchange rate, I told her 7 Hawaiian dollars per US.
So my point is, Mr. Manley, please remember that as it is for "Every time you ____ god kills a kitten", every time you make a joke we'll understand there is someone else who will take it literally and attain a state of even higher scientific illiteracy.
But honestly that night time thing was just hilarious.
+Consult Keith Young I could feel my Faith in Humanity seeping out as I read your stories. q.q
+Consult Keith Young Sad but true. Kind of makes you nod understandingly when you see warning labels on everything at the hardware store telling you not to shove things into your eyesockets because it may be harmful. Some people need that kind of direction!
+Consult Keith Young: Yesterday I heard a girl calling to the radio who said she takes away with her the box of condoms after she has sex with her friend so he won't be able to have sex with other girls... ^_^
+Loponstorm Well hopefully I can restore some of that for you. I teach kids STEM and there are some super smart kids out there and at least some of them are getting mentoring to help them realize their full creative and technical potential.
Also, don't fret over what the dumbest 1% of people do. The biggest worry, honestly, is what the dumbest 51% of people do :)
+Mythricia No, we need to STOP putting those kinds of warning labels on things and just let natural selection take its course...
"I should have gone at night"
FAAR THE BEST PART OF THIS VIDEO
+Zelop Haha yeah what a fucking idiot lol, should have thought of that before launching the rocket XD
"I probably should have taken more precautions and gone at night or something" hahaha, oh Scott your sarcasm is wonderful
Mr Scott, I must wholeheartedly thank you for this video. Not only for the entertainment factor but also because I learned something. Or to be more precise, finally visualize how gravity assist work. Of course I was aware of the general concept, but seeing it here, how by coming in front of Jupiter it's orbital velocity acts to slow down the spacecraft - it finally clicked with me. Much easier to visualize than in the more typical, simplified picture depicting the maneuver, like the one on Wikipedia.
"Steaming pile of PUP"
>Gone at night
According to Doctor Who, the sun is literally a living, sentient life form, so it may just decide to send it back.
TheOriginalJphyper Did you get that info from 42?
Not _the_ Sun. One specific star, yes, but not the Sun.
@@TheMoonRover The correction would have been more appreciated had it come sooner. As it is, it's generally considered tacky to reply to comments over a year old, as people have forgotten the comments by then.
@@TheMoonRover Well there were two episodes, the one you mention and the previous Reply, 42.
Also I just realised, is The Episode named 42 a hint at life, the universe and everything, since without the Sun there won't be life......... WOW....
@@thephoenixking1086 I was talking about the star in 42. It's not the Sun.
Give this man a small loan of a million dollars
I just came back to watch again after 5 years... one of my favorites.
me too
Gone at night.
Genius.
I'm so glad I watch both you and Dan, this is fantastic!
Gets sent here from NerdCubed's mystery video
Sees that this is for NerdCubed
Looks for NerdCubed comment
Utter disappointment achieved!
Yeah, N3 strikes me as an asshole.
***** Good point...
+Brendan Risney 3 months later and still nothing.
@@a-rod48 Still waiting on that comment. He's super busy.
"Perhaps gone at night" LOL I lost it
Going at night was definitely the smarter decision. Of course, then there would be the issue of no sun to impact with.
I like an occasional diversion into comic relief as we learn about how to get around in space. Keep up the good work.
"Or perhaps, gone at night" made me completely lose my shit. Glad I'm home alone, giggling like a madman.
"I should have taken more precautions, or gone at night" lol
Thumbs up for "maybe I should have gone a night", lolz moment
One of the best videos you’ve ever done!
so many great videos can't figure out which one to watch without clicking on another one 20 seconds later...squirrel!
OMG. :'D Scott, I didn't think you'd actually respond to Dan's plea. xD This is awesome.
he always responds to his pleas
He's the watchful protector of the solar system.
+iTuiat Sort of like a more restrained Flash Gordon. Scott Manley: Saviour of the Solar System.
+iTuiat More like galaxy, well ,universe...
To bad he does not respond to comments.
rofl "gone at night instead"
I'm glad there's people like you Scott who'll respond to the cries of the Internet requesting the totally awful to be annihilated.
Bloody brilliant! After watching all your "normal" videos, this was freaking hilarious... :D
I get a real feeling of anxiety when doing things close to the sun in kerbal.
blazednlovinit
try mining close to the sun in elite dangerous
You also could have waited for a moon eclipse :)
+Heiner Privat And flying at night with a very specific reason isn't stupid...?
+Heiner Privat That doesn't make this joke bad... And if the comments are going apeshit about that, then I think the joke wasn't that popular.
This is amazing that you actually did what nerd cubed wanted u to do
Completely lost my shit when you said "Maybe I I should have gone at night!" Thanks for the laugh Scott! Have a great week and cant wait for more videos. I wish I had this game. You always make it look so fun! :D
that last comment... at night... hahahaha :D love it!
"Perhaps we should have gone at night" made me spit out my drink!!
"should have gone at night"
Scott, never grow old.
"Gone at Night to the Sun" You just made my Day
Did he just say he wanted to land on the sun at night? 😂😂😂
"I should have gone at night" ... yeah, sure :-D
Lol I love the "we'll just go at night" joke 🤣
"Should have gone at night", you made my day aha ! ^^
Scott, Quick silly question... If you had a heat shield covering another one, and another after that, and so forth, would it work better?
IMHO it would have minimal effect as the temperature effecting the consecutive crafts would increase due to increased radiation that comes from all directions...
Pardon my insomnia induced grammar...
If you go at night you will be flying at the moon not the son, duh!
Michael Mitchell , right?!? Some people's children! Not knowing something like that, it's like he never looked at the sky! I mean, has he ever really looked at the sun during the day? I have! if you look at it really close, you can see that it's the same size as it is at night, when it's the moon! You just don't notice during the day, because it's turned on! Amateurs, right? LOL
=~.^=
Damn sun... bdmtssss (u said son)
It's a joke
"I probably should have gone at night"
At night, lol! You just earned a sub with that humor of yours.
uh the sun wouldn't be their in the night
Trigg Ethridge true! Maybe in the winter when it's not as hot?
you just cant see it cos it is dark.
True, it would be on the other side of the Earth
IT'S A FUCKING JOKE oml
Gone at night....... Bwahahahaha!
You had me laughing so hard at "I should have gone at night, or something." Best way to end the video.
I should have gone at night... xD
love it! keep up the good work
you should have installed a mod that adds a box of Justin beaber music
+Sean Whipple It'll be cheaper to just send Justin Bieber himself - won't have to keep sending up rockets every time he makes new music.
+TortoiseshellJenny
send him with all of his music in a box together, since if there's not enough room for all the CDs and things then they'll just break and if there's not enough oxygen he'll just suffocate and it's no big deal because killing him and destroying all of his music is the point.
hey, while you're at it, stuff the galactic hitman copies in there as well- the more the better!
3:45 he said "peri-jool". It's peri-Jupiter but I can see why he made that mistake.

You really pulled the, fly at night joke, i'm proud of you. ;)
Three mission profiles were proposed for Pioneer 10/11-type spacecraft, one of which was the "solar impact via Jupiter" trajectory that you demonstrated in the video (all three were illustrated and discussed in Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 non-fiction book, "The Promise of Space"). They were as follows:
One was a solar system escape trajectory (which Pioneer 10 used, by passing behind Jupiter), one was a fall into the Sun (by passing *ahead* of Jupiter, to cancel out the probe's velocity) in order to collect data on a large cross-section of the solar system from Jupiter into the Sun, and one (which Pioneer 11 took in a modified form, to reach Saturn from Jupiter) involved passing very close under Jupiter's south pole, which hurled the spacecraft high above (north of) the ecliptic plane, back across the solar system to Saturn, and:
Pioneer H (which would have been Pioneer 12 had it flown and been successful--it now hangs in the National Air and Space Museum, as a replica of Pioneer 10) was made out of spare parts for the Pioneer F (10) and G (11) spacecraft. It was intended to fly the "full" Jupiter flyby-facilitated, out-of-ecliptic mission, which would have passed over the Sun's poles after being launched in 1974 (the Ulysses spacecraft later did this), but despite lobbying by NASA's Ames Research Center, NASA Headquarters refused to approve the mission proposal. (The spent TE364-4 third stage "kick" motor from Pioneer 11's Atlas-Centaur launch vehicle is believed to be in a Pioneer H-like solar orbit.)
did you say that you should have gone at night?
Joke
Or really i thought he was serious it makes sense to me
Why not just drop it into Jupiter while you're out there? Damn environmentalists!
Only the sun could properly destroy this waste. If dropped into Jupiter, it may cause the planet to disintegrate.
Could be some sort of life living in the atmo! lol
I thoroughly enjoy smart people pretending to be dumb. Well done, great content and entertainment! I wish I saw this sooner, dang I am 7 years late!
Lmfao. I love that you and Nerdcubed noticed eachothers dreams. I hope you had those copies on the sattelite.
Gone at night hahahaha
What's the difference between periapsis, periapse and perigee? I assume perijool is the perhaps of cool but I hear you and the space agencies use the first 3 terms at random.
+Hamachingo Perigee is earth specific (gee -> geo)
perogee and apogee are the closest and furthest distance points an object is orbiting in an elliptical orbit. i dont remember which is which though.
+Daniel Cannata no thats periapsis and apoapsis, what you said are specific to the earth.
+Hamachingo Peri is short for the crayon color periwinkle. Apsis is a type of small poisonous snake. So, a periapsis is nest of small light purple vipers. A periapse is one small purple viper. Perigee is the noise that periapsis make before they bite.
+Hamachingo To expand on Scott's comment: An apsis is an orbit's extremity. The word is related to "apse," the highest part of an arch, and in English it's not uncommon for space geeks to say "apse" instead of "apsis" for brevity.
All orbits have a periapsis, which is the spot closest to the object you're orbiting. Elliptical orbits also have an apoapsis, which is the spot farthest from the object. (The remaining orbit types are parabolic and hyperbolic--they pass by the object never to return.)
Since a lot of human space flight is around the Earth, "perigee" and "apogee" is used more often. For the Sun, they use "perihelion" and "apohelion," "helios" being Greek for "sun". There's other suffixes for other bodies in the real Solar System, but you can use "periapsis" and "apoapsis" instead and as long as they know which object is being orbited, all is well.
The fact that two of my favorite youtubers have some form of relation to each other is awesome :D
oh man he really got me at the "extra precautions" lmao
What's delta-V?
+ParaglidingManiac It's a bit like the range or endurance of your vehicle, changing an orbit requires a certain change in velocity or delta-v, if you run out of delta-v you end up stranded in your current orbit.
+ParaglidingManiac As Scott says it's change in velocity. The potential for delta-V is determined by the amount of fuel a spaceship carries and the mass (think weight of a ship under 1G) of the ship. The lower the mass of a ship, the bigger the change in velocity per unit of fuel burned.
Other considerations also come into this, the thrust produced by the engines, and fuel effiency of those, the drag from the atmosphere during liftoff, and when skimming in the atmosphere, and gravity.
A fun way for a spaceship to change their delta-V is by dipping into an atmosphere and breaking, allowing to change velocity without using fuel.
If you want to understand it you should probably watch some of Scotts earlier videos where he explains the mechanics involved with getting a spaceship into orbit.
That would be acceleration is basic terms
+ParaglidingManiac One way of looking at it is if you took your spaceship, put it in empty space, and burned in one direction until the fuel tanks ran dry. You would then be moving at the same speed as your total deltaV. That's what it means, really. Total difference in velocity.
In practice you spend it here and there, sometimes to speed up, sometimes to slow down. But it still totals a net change in velocity.
This is my go to video on explaining orbital mechanics.
"Should have gone at night..."
You, my friend, just won the internet :D
“should have gone at night” The undisputed best of Scott Manley
The way Scott says "poop" at 4:26
So great!
This video is a treasure
in 7th grade we were tasked with coming up with a way to deal with all the trash in a sort of thought experiment.
I said to launch it all into the sun. Then I grew up and happened to learn about orbital mechanics and the cost of launching even a tiny payload, which eventually brought me to this video which reminded me of that one time I suggested launching all of the *worlds* trash into the sun, which caused me to physically cringe.
Life is interesting.
Scott: Next time I should take safety precautions like flying at night
Me: *taking notes* 😂😂
This video is since enthusiast gold! 🥇😁
A person that traveled the world and didn't touch the ground sent me here.
"Perhaps we should have gone at night"
LOL
One of the best! A little sentence written by someone not thinking that Scott will take it „serious“ 🤣🤣🤣!
Dropping the probe into Jupiter would have been just as effective.
+Yonkage Jupiter protects Earth from asteroid strikes; it doesn't deserve to be pummeled by _Galactic Hitman_...
Should have gone at night. Nerd jokes are the best.
Oh, Scott Manley. You're a wonderful person.
This is AWESOME!
Scott Manley: Fly safe!
Also Scott Manley: **Tries to crash probe into sun**
A night time trip would have been the key to success, you were correct.
"I should've gone at night or something like that" - THAT IS NOT HOW THE SUN WORKS.
+Alex C Exactly. Everyone knows that he should have gone during the winter, when the sun is colder...
It was a joke (obviously).
Yes you actually did it xD
Got to love the Scott-Dan bromance ;)
Should have gone at night.... You funny bastard
I thought I was helping by mentioning nerdcubed's mission for you on one of your recent uploads, but I see the great Scott Manley can sense a cry for help faster than I can type :D
The coolest image was the eclipsing view of its final plunge. Slowly Panning into such povs is a fine art. Can be dramatic or, as here, schizoid.
"Gone at night" hahahahaha nice one Scott :-D
"should have gone at night"
FLAWLESS PLAN.
I like how he says "fly safe" after flying into the sun
Lol! Should have gone at night. That brings to mind the song lyrics "like 7 inches from a midday sun". As always,Great job sir.
"Should have gone at night" That sound like a good plan! xD
A duck walked -up to a lemonade stand and said to the man running the stand- into the sun
If he had gone at night, it would have been much colder. **nodself**
"I should have perhaps gone at night"... classic Scott Manley
you should definitely revisit this concept with a ship like the one in sunshine
"i should have probably take more precautions and perhaps gone at night or something" for some weird reason that made me literally cry from laugh.
