Scott, here's my prediction on *how* the conservation of momentum would be conserved if the QVVP properly explains the EmDrive. I'm not saying that it does, or even that the drive works at all, but this is the way I would think it works. *IF* the Quantum Vacuum Virtual Plasma (QVVP for short) exists and can be acted upon, it has some equilibrium state it exists in. From what I understand, the basic concept is that this plasma constantly creates and destroys matter-antimatter particle pairs everywhere. If you could push on it, you would move those pairs, and change the momentum of the photons they generate on their destruction. If you move both particles in the same direction (unlikely, as they would be opposite charges) then you gain the momentum they change by, and you "emit" corresponding photons in the other direction when they self-annihilate. This would make the EmDrive simply a substantially better radiation pressure engine. If you move them in opposite directions, then you must absorb one into the engine, and gain the momentum transfer of the other. In this case, you gain the momentum transfer of the one, but consume a small mass of your engine as well. This would mean EmDrives are subject to the dV equation, based on how long they can remain operational before needing to be replaced. This would make the EmDrive comparable to an ion engine, except that it ablates away parts of itself instead of a gas. Either of those might explain why it works without violating Newtonian physics, while still leaving us with a working engine.

I know this is an old video, but maybe you'll see this, Mr. Manley. Your challenge was a fun one, and you did a better job than I did at flying into orbit even with me copying your design (one or two small changes that may have been either positive or negative), but it seems to me that the one thing you did wrong was give up too easily on bringing Jeb safely back to Kerbin. You were very close on one of your three-parachute attempts, so I figured it would be doable if you lost just a little more weight. First, the monopropellant, obviously. Second, the side chutes-even in 5G the tiny little starter pod is likely to survive with only the nose chute, and one chute that opens is better than three that can't open. Plus it's probably almost as aerodynamic as the cone you used! :P Lastly, jettison the heat shield once you're at a safe speed. This worked on my first try: although it hit the water at probably over 13 m/s, it survived. On a retry I would set the fully open altitude higher. Also, I don't know if the updates in between this video and now would have changed the outcome. You're better at this than I could possibly be, but I think you missed a trick on this one. Maybe you weren't really trying. Ironically, when I finally made it to orbit, my path was much more circular than yours, just because I had to nurse it into orbit by firing the last two stages at 45 degrees while going from 110km to 90km apo. I think you were perhaps too conservative on the other side because you were consistently running dry on your last stage before even REACHING apoapsis!

I just started playing KSP. I know a tip you don/t know...shocked myself. Just from trial and error, I learned something very valuable. Idk, probably assuming to much with that statement. 33:12 Use tailfins or deluxe winglets instead of static tail fins. Make sure there is a 4 way near the front, the 4 way is strictly pitched and it needs to be lined up with the cardinal directions on the landing pad (sounds strange, but go ahead and rotate it 45 degrees, see what happens. You might already know though. Winglets on the tail can be used for roll, but I don't think we ever really need it. Least, I'm not smart enough to come up with a decent reason to roll a rocket faster than it rolls normally. Mind your authority, it changes depending on the elevation. I was able to steer a 18-20 ton vessel with 2 thumpers. Took a lot of trial and error, but I can turn 10 degrees on command (like, just 400 feet and 50 m/s of thrust I can inch over about 2$ with one keystroke at a time. It reaches I think 116 km Apoapsisif I remember correctly. Also worth noting it has a single swivel engine center of the craft for stability (no RCS yet, only Tier 2 or 3 Tech tree atm lol). I still suck at the game...so orbit is eh... I prefer to utilize Aerodynamics when building rockets...probably why my rockets take 7+ hours to actually get somewhere (usually lost...cause again, I suck.) I somehow stuck someone in permanent orbit around the sun at 9k m/s. Perfect orbit...no exit in sight. Right in between Kerbal, and the next planet inwards. I know it scales too, you just have to line it up to the stage by stage starting with the last to first if you go for a big vehicle..then adjust angles, adjust authorities, lots of trial and error. I can make a super inefficient vehicle turn, never mind that I can't get it to leave the atmosphere, it turns! Seeing you struggle with this makes me want to attempt it...I'm pretty good at getting out of orbit if it's the goal, not so good at doing ANYTHING else. I was today years old when I discovered that the multi-directional drag tool on maneuvers in the map...yeah, you can drag that other was then out and into the corresponding shape (no idea what the purples ones or blue ones are still, figure I'll deal with it when I need to know.) 36:08 - Nah, you can and should turn right off the pad, you need wings. Just, not a complete horizon turn...

The EM drive is bullocks. Even the meassurements that claim it, it was just at the edge of the ability to meassure, typically where small errors produce false results. Then the "vacuum" was bullocks it was tested in, so likely it was just an evaporation effect of the condensators. Nobody was able to recreate it. Its "cold fusion" all along (if somebody remembers a similar hoaks from the 1990s) Only one guy being able to "meassure" it, not able to explain it, and no one ever redo it... but everyone was crazy for it, since it would mean a lot if possible... but nope.

I don't think so, because at one point his parachutes went orange, and drag chutes will go white while the parachutes are red, so I think it can be done and it will weigh significantly less than air brakes. I have not tried this test version, but with seeing the parachutes go orange for a few seconds, there is a small window of time to deploy a drag chute to slow it down enough for a few parachutes. I do not know if the gravity will auto rip them, but maybe using 3 of each chute...

The way I figured it out is that when you use more than one thruster, you will never accelerate faster than any one of them alone, but with a payload, the payload starts to seemingly disappear with more thrusters. If you could not get any of the rockets off the pad by itself, more of them would just do the same.

Along similar lines, I wonder if a "Jool sample return" mission would be feasible? Make some sort of aircraft that is basically a huge pile of giant rockets, fly it deep into Jool's atmosphere (say, at least to the 14-bar level), and then somehow fly a capsule back out and return to Kerbin. No idea if this is possible with stock parts, I would suspect not, but if one can get into orbit with 5g, maybe it's not out of the question? Of course, the problem with Jool is not just the escape velocity, but also the atmosphere.

If the EM Drive works, as it is claimed it should work, momentum is not a conserved quantity. There is a really important theorem, Noether's theorem, that states that for every continuous symmetry of the action (an action is an object that encodes the laws of physics, it is commonly used in Lagrangian mechanics, quantum field theory, string theory and other) of a physical theory there exists a conserved quantity. The symmetry related to the conservation of momentum is the symmetry under translations, that is the laws of physics does not depend on where you are and stays the same through out the universe. If momentum is not a conserved, as the EM Drive would imply if it works, it would mean that the laws of physics are not the same through out the universe which would be an amazing and terrifying discovery. To this day every deep space study seems to indicate that the laws of physics are the same through out the visible universe, therefore any breaking of translation symmetry must be extremely small and the breaking of momentum conservation must be very small. So if the EM-Drive actually works it must be very weak because otherwise we would have had observed breaking of momentum conservation and that the laws of physics are not the same here as they are in other parts of the visible universe (for instance the emission spectrum of distant gas clouds would contain chemical elements completely alien to us).

8:31 My suggestion would have been to use Sepratron I's, but after recreating this scenario 1 to 1 , i noticed that the seperated booster still colide with the main rocket, taking out the engine. Hmm.. maybe more Sepratron's.

if it works (em engine) then it does not violate any laws. either our laws are simply incorrect or we do not understand what it is doing. but it is not violating the laws of physics.

Scott do you know you can jettison the heat shield to shed weight on landing, it actually slows down faster than the pod when jettisoned, but is just dead weight when dropping through the lower atmosphere...

I think part of the issue was you released the clamps as you turned on the engines, meaning the rocket not only had to overcome its initial inertia, but also the downward motion as well.

Hey, Scott! I made a mod that scales Kerbin to 4 times its scale and gives the planets a similar inclination to that of the Earth. Could you take a look at it? It would probably be great for your next 100 % or almost 100 % stock series because it would give the game some more difficulty that you probably need, cause you are an experienced player. The mod is called "4x solar system".
