"They turned the earth into a potato gun!" is possibly the coolest thing I've ever heard!

[@Razre]

That manhole cover easily cleared escape velocity for the entire solar system. If it got to space, someone, somewhere, at some time in the universe is going to have a bad day.

[@k1ll3rLE]

Love the Mass Effect reference

[@billbaggins7355]

Wouldn't it be wild if, over time, traveling through the vacuum of space it collected dust and dirt and rocks until it eventually achieves a form large enough to end a planet and does?

[@RT-qd8yl]

No more dangerous than the Voyagers. They've got RTGs.

[@Staxx0]

@@billbaggins7355well with how fast it was going and how big it already was I’m sure if it hits anything it’s gonna be bad for whatever got hit. 😂

[@Fighter11244]

I did the math a while ago. If it made it to space, iirc, it’s not even halfway out of the solar system. Will probably need to redo the math to double check though

[@juanmanuelperezlago5030]

[@dirtyblueshirt]

"Ludicrous speed, GO!" -Range director, probably.

[@peterstickney7608]

Sure have - the X-15 manned Aerospace Plane, and the Navajo Cruise Missile, which we flew, but didn't put into service because by that time, we realized that ICBMs were a better idea.

[@AlechiaTheWitch]

Theoretically since the 1940s

[@eodmax85]

​@@BlackViking4547 WHAT? You forget hydration and a banana injection private? 😂

[@wwobbles]

I just decided to do some math, and that manhole cover has roughly 487 tons of worth of kinetic energy. For comparison the MOAB has 11 tons of explosive energy (~1/44th the energy), and a fully loaded 747-8 going all out (690.5mph) has ~1/95th the energy of that manhole cover.

[@ronaldtreitner1460]

show off

[@user-rd6rg7mp7h]

@@ronaldtreitner1460 it gets far deeper than what he has shown. Bombs out of planes like MOAB don't start like that manhole cover. That's far closer to rifle ballistics the minute fraction of time after the explosion hmmm

[@MrReilloc]

Aliens from the planet where the man hole cover crashed will never try to invade because "those Mfers are HUGE! look at the size of their alien hole covers!"

[@user-rd6rg7mp7h]

That man hole cover leaving our atmosphere is far more fun than mentioned. If it was still accelerating when it left us it would gain far more speed

[@dirtyblueshirt]

The acceleration would have stopped shortly after the cover left its initial position. It would have, very briefly, been decelerated by the atmosphere and then by climbing out of the Earth and then Sun's gravity wells.

[@user-rd6rg7mp7h]

@dirtyblueshirt escape velocity definitely exceeded the requirements . But did it reach its max speed before gravity stopped or long afterwards.

[@dirtyblueshirt]

@@user-rd6rg7mp7h its maximum speed would have been right at the moment the force from the gas propelling it matched the forces of gravity and air resistance.

[@user-rd6rg7mp7h]

@dirtyblueshirt note that was never a question of when it stopped accelerating however ballistics tells a completely different scenario. This huge potato gun had a velocity of 150k mph. At the 200 mile mark of its flight the earth's atmosphere and gravity are zero. The time frame for a round to gain max velocity out of a barrel is a split second after leaving the barrel that split second is pretty much the entire distance at 150k mph

[@peterstickney7608]

@@user-rd6rg7mp7h Gravity doesn't stop. It weakens with distance, but never goes away.

[@n3r0wolfe]

"meteorites always burn up" yeah.. because when they dont burn up we call them meteors.. lol

[@peterstickney7608]

Kinda got that backwards - Meteors are the Shooting Star things. Meteorites are the rocks that land. The ones that detonate in the atmosphere a called "Holy Crap! What was that!" (Tugunska, Chelybinsk - that happens a lot, actually)

[@TreeboretheRubyLord]

Arizona does actually have earthquakes. Not often, but it does. One even created a ghost town.

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

Budd😅 man wanna chat

[@AlechiaTheWitch]

Yeah man the us geography just decides its angry sometimes

[@shannonwoodcock1035]

"They turned the earth into a potato gun!" God Bless America!

[@AreUmygrandson]

I’ve already heard the story on the podcast but the banter is worth listening again

[@IdleDrifter]

First man made object to achieve escape velocity of the solar system. A 2000 lbs man hole cover.

[@yugoyankoff-vh7in]

The only thing you need to know about Nuclear Radiation is : Time , Distance and Shielding. The best barrier is : Lead , Water and Really Thick Concrete.

[@jedironin380]

Well, let's see... We vaporized the concrete, shot the lead in to space, and this was in the desert so there's no water...

[@johnstraub7494]

And that is where the idea for Space Invaders video game came from. Same idea. Send a crap load of missiles in front of target to blow them up.

[@peterstickney7608]

Some Plumbbob John Notes and clarifications - The earliest date that one of the 6 died was 1990, and the last was in 2014. Since the bomb was detonated well above the ground, there was no fallout, other than the weapon casing, and the atmosphere absorbed the radiation in about 2,000'. The weapon wasn't just an airplane killer - the Neutron Flux would cause fizzle yields in any weapons the bombers were carrying, preventing them from full detonations when the planes crashed. (A thing called Salvage Fuzing - If you're gonna get shot down, you might as well set the bomb off.) We didn't like that idea.

[@Magavynhigara]

Nuclear toasted bacon. Mmmmmm.

Quote of they day by the Fat Electrician: "It makes sense, if you don't think about it."

[@kevinfreeman3098]

the guy, running the camera was voluntold...

[@Threestars307]

My grandpa moved to taos but fr he would charge bomb sites in the desert to see how theu would fight in a nuke war

[@brianmunyon5669]

And the poor oceans, so many detonations. But the water's okay, right?

[@benn454]

Water is actually a pretty good radiation blocker.

[@11jerans]

Most likely, I mean you can swim in the water inside a nuclear reactor without getting irradiated. Water is pretty good at stopping radiation

[@ginvr]

One of my fav stories

[@jweav151]

I've been seeing versions of that Starship Trooper meme recently too. Completely accurate, #teamdizzy.

[@jedironin380]

Back in my D&D days, we had a DM that would actually do a rough calculation of the effect of a fireball spell. Very similar to the gaseous form of concrete mentioned here... "Okay, you just touched-off a Level 15 Fireball spell in an underground tunnel. That fireball fills xx amount of space, the tunnel is 10' wide by 10' high, so the fireball would fill the tunnel 500 FEET in every direction! Roll for damage... nevermind, you're all crispy-crittered. Roll new characters."

[@TheRealJohnH3]

Anyone think Clint Smith should be on the podcast? maybe Jon Bernthal?

[@BlackViking4547]

Bernthal for sure lol

[@andrewmencer916]

The mantle cover is the second thing to escape Earth's gravity the first thing was a V2 rocket in 1944 it went right above the cabela line before re-entering Earth's atmosphere

[@benn454]

The V2 never escaped Earth's gravity because it came back down. Everything in LEO is still in the Earth's gravity well.

[@xXJMatherXx]

Another thing to think about is Voyager 1 is regarded as the first man made object to literally leave our solar system. If the manhole cover left Earth, not only is it the first man made object in space, but the first man made object to leave our solar system and will be the first to reach the inner lining of the sun's Oort cloud.

[@jehoiakimelidoronila5450]

Let me get this straight. Nuke is donated, giant concrete plug vaporizes, then propelled the 2k-pound manhole cover of refined steel. So the nuke is basically a glorified cartridge primer, the superheated concrete is the propellant and the cover is a "bullet"; AND the earth is one giant gun. Now the one thing that I ask the most about the manhole cover is, *where's the picture???* I wanna see it as I can't find it in the internet

[@11jerans]

The problem with the Buenos Aires theory is that the asteroid hit way before Cameron was dodging asteroids. The film does a terrible job of pointing it out, but the scene of the asteroid hitting happens way early in the timeline of the film and the opening scene where she’s dodging asteroids happens after that.

[@MajesticG0rilla]

thats a lot of white claws lol

[@Usernamesdontmatter1]

Fun fact. In the star ship troopers novel Dizzy is Johnny's best friend....who's a black guy.

[@rvnerd7671]

That cover had to have impacted something by now. Perhaps that caused one of the nebulas around the galaxy, by completely obliterating a distant star or planet light years away. 😂

[@Hurrican72]

I wonder if we can see it on one of the space telescopes still flying away?

[@theangryotaku3361]

1:12 duck, cover, and kiss your butt goodbye (guess which word had to be censored)

Bruh. Loved how this segued into a discussion of Starship Troopers. Heinlein was WAAAAAY beyond his time. And the movie?!? Btw her name was Carmen Brandon lmao. And yes, Dizzy would catch it WAAAAAAY more and harder than Carmen. Any day. Boys liked the blonde ladder climber. Men love the redhead grunt. MERICA!!!!

[@ElijahKarpel]

By the way the manhole cover had at lease 300,000,000 pounds of force going up...do what you will with that knowledge.

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

2:42 after the USA cancelled the Canadian avreo aero program hey pumped a bunch of Genie nukes into our Northern parts of our country

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

10:51 well the shit hitting earth is getting in to denser air vs the man hole cover flyn in to thinner air... Man it's basically basic science.. that facker is in Jupiter now

[@peterstickney7608]

That's a whole different bucket of squid. I've got the RCAF and DND plans (Along with pretty much every other Aver Arrow document - I live in an Aerospace Library), and against the target that they were intended to counter (Mach 2 speed, 60,000' altitude bombers), using the Canadian Air Defense Network with its human -run Direction Centers, given the point where they'd show up enough on the Ground Controlled Intercept Radars, they'd only have been able to intercept about 16-20 aircraft - at a latitude that was, basically that of Boston, Massachusetts, Albany, New York, and Detroit Michigan / Windsor Ontario. Great for Boston, sucks for Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, or Ottawa. What was needed was integration into the computer-controlled USAF SAGE network. But getting SAGE set up was expensive - not just the monster computers, but the networked radars automatically feeding them data. Canada could _maybe_ afford Arrow, could afford SAGE, with U.S. help, but not both. Add to that that the Radar Fire Control System intended for the Arrow (RCA Astra) was a no-go, the intended missiles (Sparrow IIs), were leftovers from a cancelled U.S. Navy project, the intended engines were never properly flight tested, performance estimates were dropping every quarterly report, costs were going nuts, and the Soviets decided that since they couldn't build Mach 2 / 60,000' Intercontinental Bombers, they'd use Ballistic Missiles instead, it didn't have a target. Anything the Soviets were flying could be handled just as well with SAGE and existing airplanes - so your Government went for SAGE, SAGE-integrated F-101B Voodoos, and BOMARC Long Range Surface to Air Missiles - which did the Real World jobs better.

And those that say it burned up are not counting the fact that going up the heat and friction are not bad outbound but inbound, oh boy. Anyone ever remember heat protection on a rocket or capsule outbound, I don't.

[@peterstickney7608]

It's there - For example, the Apollo Command Module had what was called a Boost Protective Cover - basically a white-painted cone that was attached to the Launch Escape System (The lattice tower on top) That served to protect the Command Module (Which was silver, to prevent overheating in space) from Aerodynamic Heating during the initial boost through the lower atmosphere. It's a limiting factor on things like Missile Seekers. An early Sidewinder seeker would get cooked by just a few minutes of a low level supersonic run. The radomes on radar-guided missiles have problems with it as well.

[@theodoresmith8310]

When is Brandon planning to recreate this?
