We're going to the sun for a drive.
That's ridiculous, you'll burn up.
No, we're going at night and also we've really beefed up the shocks on the truck.

What we learnt-
•Wrecking your car on Pluto gives you time to get out in mid-air.
•Gravity is the biggest issue why we can't drive at sun.

Suppose you could land on Jupiter, there’s gotta be odd things in it because of the pressures and temperatures.

u/Tando10 Jan 23 '22
Can't really land on Jupiter. You can dive into the clouds but when you start getting lower, (still clouds) 1. The pressure is absolutely insane, beyond anything our spacecraft can handle and 2. There probably isn't any solid boundary.
Since I started thinking about this, I just imagine a cool sci-fi film where we find out Jupiter is unlike anything we thought it was and the mystery gets deeper and deeper. Even though the marketing implies it's just a found-footage film of a doomed mission, it unravels into a space horror about an ancient species inside Jupiter doing everything in its power to avoid the clichés of this kinda film.

There is a gas to liquid and a solid transition at some point. What kind of crazy things do at those temperatures and pressures.

u/PyroDesu Jan 23 '22
Gas-to-liquid transition might be gradual by way of supercritical fluid.
As to a solid core... possibly metallic hydrogen, probably a little bit of rock way down at the very core.

on paper we had virus space monkeys, base jumping from a space elevator, moon buggy shootout, sabotaged rocket launch... and that's just what i can remember...

Except that's not what the moon would do. 70 mph on 30 degrees you launch at sin(30)/70 mph and you hit at sin(30)/70mph, plus whatever you gained coming down. This isn't physics, it's game settings.

u/movzx Jan 23 '22
Yeah. OP is all over talking about how "it's not a game, more a demo of super realistic car physics" and this is under a video of where even the Earth based physics aren't right.
It's a fun way to show some differences between gravity, but to call it realistic is laughable.

The rate of fall of that truck in the earth gravity would be much closer to what he showed for Jupiter gravity. The earth gravity is probably much closer to Moon gravity in terms of falling speed.

u/7thhokage Jan 23 '22 edited Jan 23 '22
not to mention that truck is going no where if it suddenly weighed 25x more.
To put this in perspective a 2020 f150 weighs a average of 5,000lbs or 2.5 tons.
On Jupiter it would weigh ~125,000lbs or 62.5 tons. odds are the transmission would shred itself even attempting to transmit the forces before the tires started turning. thats assuming the crank or engine itself doesnt give first.
Edit: wont even get into how the gravity would effect fluids.

u/Launch_box Jan 23 '22
If you drove off an identical ramp on the earth and moon at the same speed as both you would impact the ground with the same force. You would just fly further on the moon.
The fact that the damage is less is weird.
→ More replies3
u/WasabiofIP Jan 23 '22
That's only true if the truck falls back down on to a surface at the same height as the top of the ramp, which is not what is shown in the video. On the way down, at the same height as the end of the ramp, yes the truck would have the same vertical velocity under Earth gravity or Moon gravity (assuming vacuum in both). But the top of ramp is elevated off the ground, so when the truck reaches that elevation on the way down, although it would have the same kinetic energy on Earth/Moon it has more potential energy on Earth. Therefore when that has all been converted to kinetic energy and the truck hits the ground, it hits the ground harder on the Earth than on the Moon.

u/LostAlienLuggage Jan 23 '22
One thing is that they are changing gravity in the game but the car is still driving as if it is in an Earth-like atmosphere. So when the truck goes flying up into the air the atmospheric friction causes it to lose most of its velocity, resulting in a feather-like landing when combined with the low gravity. Whereas if you were actually on the moon, there is no atmosphere, so the truck would lose no velocity at all. It would actually start gaining some velocity as the gravity of the moon started pulling it back down to the surface. So while you might come back to the surface "slowly" in one sense, you'd still crash into it at a very high speed and it would not be pretty.
→ More replies3
u/WasabiofIP Jan 23 '22
Okay, makes sense. You're saying the effects of gravity and atmosphere are modeled correctly, but while the gravity varies according to the different bodies, the atmosphere/drag is always Earth's.

What would we need to drive better on the moon, giving we can build an asphalt-like road ? A surface with more grip ? Better tires (like racing tires) ? Should we add weights in order to avoid the car from jumping into the oblivion when encountering a pot hole ?
Either way, fascinating.

u/FrankyPi Jan 23 '22
Well, humans drove on the Moon on three occasions on Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions, so you might look up the Lunar Roving Vehicle or LRV also known as the Moon buggy. Tires are made from metal wire mesh with titanium chevrons.

u/Jonah-1903 Jan 23 '22
A whole lot of extra mass, gravity is only 1/6th as on earth, so the mass should be 6x, it would then weigh as much as on earth, making it drivable, airless tires would also be a good idea, as there’s no atmosphere on the moon
