No, let us hope peace comes to the region and the endless cycle of bloodshed ends. That may include justice for the people responsible, but our main aspiration should be peace and prosperity, not retribution.

Is it okay to bomb economic infrastructure of a sovereign nation because it doesn't treat its women with respect? Because that's a little ironic coming from an American.

Ok, there are two apartheid genocidal regimes, but what else have the Romans ever done for us?

Yeah but if people show up to vote in large turnout numbers, it helps with these issues.

Let's try to not have this close an election again, cause you just know the same fuckery is gonna happen if there's even a slight chance of Republicans getting away with it.

I see my comment flew over your head, although I appreciate all the info you shared. It's just that the sun doesn't deliver Watts per year or per second. The Watt is a unit of power and as such is already energy per time. Watts/year is a nonsense unit, at least in this context.

If it's 44 quadrillion Watts per year, how many is it per second?

Yeah it probably is, my comment was really about raw deltaV numbers without using gravity assists.

It's definitely harder to decay the orbit into the sun directly than it is to get to escape velocity. But to play devil's advocate, there is probably a way to get them into the sun while being a similar cost to escape velocity. All you need to do is burn prograde to a super high aphelion, ride all the way out there to Pluto or whatever and then do a small retrograde burn to bring your perihelion inside the sun's photosphere. When you then get back towards the sun years later you would slam into it with a sick velocity that I think would be worth the decades-long wait.

It's just not true though, unless you do an out then in maneuver.

No that's not really the case, the earth will be destroyed.
