"I work on the part of the drill that makes it spin". Now imagine how many engineers are involved in building 1 single Mars rover and how complicated the thing is. Fascinating.

[@RijuChatterjee]

@CL Melonshark Well I'm sure that, say, Bosch, have more than one engineer working on every new drill they develop. The rover actually probably has way fewer engineers working on it than say, something like a mass-market SUV. Where there's money, there's man-hours. Where there isn't money, there's the government.

[@tangerinetech5300]

Yeah he's talking about a motor a singular motor and they need one person just for that motor. Seems unnecessary

[@thesteaksaignant]

@@tangerinetech5300 a motor than needs to operate in extreme conditions of low pressure, very fine Martian dust and handle an extreme range of temperature between day and night without failing, while meeting the performance requirements and consuming the lowest amount of electric power to save it for the other components. It must also survive the vibration and shocks of take of and reentry and landing. Yeah, putting 1 engineer on that doesn't seem overkill to me

[@tangerinetech5300]

@@thesteaksaignant I mean they don't specify if he does all of that or if it's a team working on the motor and he literally works on just the motor. To be honest I find it hard to believe that he would be in charge of all of that for the motor but I would hope he does other stuff than just make sure the motor for the drill is at its best possible performance cause that's probably pretty dull work after a while.

[@thesteaksaignant]

​@@tangerinetech5300 Slow down for a sec, you're the only one saying he works on a single motor, so I checked his linkedin profile and here's what it says: "Designing the spindle, spindle transmission, and core break actuation systems for the Mars 2020 rover’s sampling and caching subsystem" So there's more to it than just one motor. However, I stand by my point that even designing a single motor for extreme conditions is a very complex task and I don't see why it would be dull.

KSP uses patched conic physics instead of actual N-Body physics. This is so the game can actually run and still be enjoyable to the masses. If actual physics were used you'd have Lagrange points, orbit destabilisation and deterioration, and lots of headaches. Though, it would make certain more advance maneuvers possible.
