Darnet Diaries'episode about the legendary phrack

https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/170/

he's talking about blindy executing a bash script with curl curl install.sh | bash which is indeed a very bad habit

does not mean he should talk that way about people who have less knownledge

sorry i don't identify as a jerk

it's also 150 000 000 meters

I stop reading when the first paragraph contains a profanity.

Thank you for that precision "without continued propulsion", because when talking about rockets, physics teachers always talk about escape velocity, as if it was an absolutely necessary condition to escape earth's gravity.

But can't you escape gravity slower, just by going higher and higher at lower speed? Like a plane? (ie not vertically, but at an angle)

If you don't accelerate, my understanding is that you will slow down. In other words, it takes more and more energy to escape orbit. Eventually, if you don't accelerate, your speed drops to zero and you "fall back down". Escape velocity is about how much energy you put into your motion, not the velocity as such.

No, the absolute minimum speed IS required. Anything below that and you’re just making your orbit elliptical.

That seems wrong. If you have a way to maintain enough propulsion for long enough you can escape the gravity well at any arbitrarily low speed. You "just" need to maintain that speed long enough for the escape velocity from the gravity well to go below it as it diminishes with distance from the mass.

Oh yeah, 1.01 Gs of endless propulsion will work. I was just arguing in the context of existing technology.

As someone working in clinical studies,

I can tell you the questions are biased from the start. That study has to be redone entirely.

would you have a tutorial on that?

Sorry, I don't. Giving the agent high level context has worked well for me.
