Making The Planet Spin So Fast Things Fall Up - Livestream 

Uff, poor Australians, now I understand them

Ah I actually was wondering about this a while back, thanks for the video!

"That's what the pros do, they don't crash into the ground." - Scott Manley, 2017

3:17 just a regular flight in australia

"in exactly the way that bricks don't." My all-time favorite H2G2 quote ever.

You walk outside in the morning then you slowly hover up and next thing you know you are in orbit. Fun!

So in reality if you did this, I believe it would cook everything on the planet's crust and the wind speed would create a never-ending horizontal rain of glass shards. Fun fun fun!

I feel like this is what flat-earthers think normal people think the Earth is

Dear diary, today I watched a bald man land a plane on the underside of an upside down runway floating in the sky.

Jeb walking on his head made my day :)

Mayday!!! We're Going Up!!!

KSP - Australian edition.

That first reverse-takeoff flipping the plane 360 vertically was absolutely epic!

Did you really land that plane, or did you sky it?

World spun so fast it flung Scott into an entirely different game! WOW!

ALL WINGS ATTACHED ! If I ever get to fly a plane, that's what I'll shout every time I land.

*urge to play KSP intensifies*

If the planet was spinning this fast wouldn't it just break apart due to the centrifugal force?

When making a planet pack, one of the moons I made spin too fast and this happened. I had no idea what was going on.

The best example was, and is, Inaccessable from Kragrathea's Planet factory (nowdays Sentar expansion).

"Hanging in the sky in much the same way as bricks don't" nice Hitchhikers reference. Always appreciated.

This gives "powered landing" an entirely new meaning!

hey scott, not sure if you're aware but at around 17:40 it switches to a totally different game.

This is crazy. :D

3:07 Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy reference s2

There was an interesting SF short story some years back, by Charles Sheffield, I believe titled 'The Speed of Lightness', about creatures living on a (non-rotating) sphere. One of them, performing physics experiments, discovered that as his test vehicles sped up, they got lighter. The equations (genuine physics) computed a speed, 'c', at which the vehicles would become weightless. A very amusing story...

Came here for shenanigans, stayed for the Hitchhiker's Guide reference.

I did it once with Hyperedit. If my testing is correct, you start going up (on the equator) once the full rotation time drops to 1560 seconds. However, by using the magic of polar regions, I managed to drop it down to 5 seconds! Problem is, the Coriolis effect is so powerful that you go flying at hypersonic velocities at about 50 meters from the north pole.

Wasn't there already a mod which added a ridiculously fast-spinning planet, where the equator rotated faster than escape velocity?

"What If" talked about this. The differential pressure between the poles and the equator would create huge turbulence that would destroy everything on the planet

Sorry, but the best part of the video was the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy quote 😂 I've heard quite a few HG references in your videos. Hands down my favorite book series.

You pretty much just showed how the RIngworld has "gravity", interesting to see it in ksp. I always wondered if someone on the ringworld tried launching a rocket into "orbit" (would instantly mean orbit of the star) if they would have to launch to spinward or antispinward

Interestingly enough, if Scott tried to fly to the west, he would witness his plane beginning to behave more and more "normally" (well, as normally as a plane going 1+km/s acts). Basically, because he would be counteracting the "extra" velocity granted by the spinning of the planet. For the same reason in a theoritical artificial gravity habitat in space walking with the rotation decreases "gravity' (until you start going faster than the rotation, obviously). Likewise, moving around the structure opposite the direction of rotation will increase "gravity" for you. This leads to some hilarious behavior on such a theoretical space station. I.e. if one was to run with the rotation until you reached the rotational speed of the structure (this is slightly harder than is sounds because as you gained speed you would lose traction/downforce/gravity) you could theoretically jump across the structure (because you would be experiencing no "gravity"). Although in reality it would be more like a really long jump, because assuming the structure isn't a vacuum the air would begin to accelerate you back towards rotational speed. This speed isn't as fast as you think, which leads to some issues with small scale structures like this in theoretically space craft. In a 100m radius rotating circle you would experience the force of 1G when rotating at .99m/s. So if I were to walk against the rotation of the structure at a speed of 1 m/s (2.2mph, easily walking speed for a normal person) I would experience a gravitational force of 4G's. You can see why this could be a problem. If I try to walk with the rotation, I quickly lose downforce and end up kind of stumbling along at less than 1G. In the above example you would be effectively "crushing" yourself (similar to how you experience higher G force while pushing off for a jump) so you wouldn't actually die, because you would only experience as much gravity as you could push. However, you can see how this could be dangerous in a motorized vehicle...

Ah i love rendezvous with Rama, what a great series. good reference Scott.

Scott Manley, why are you still not verified?

Danny the guy who makes crazy stuff is so going to make a Death Star using this

Still seems inexplicably louder than every other video on youtube. Shame when the content is so stellar!

20:30 Scott Manley, the professional CS:GO player.

When you realize that Scott here can do anything but land a plane properly...

Holy moly, I might actually be able to get into orbit now...

Funnily enough I read Rendezvous With Rama just the other day! I've had Rama 2 sitting on my bookshelf for months but couldn't find a copy of the first one. AFAIK the physics limit in KSP would already let you make a structure in KSP the same scale (since the Kerbol system is 1/10 Earth size I guess Kama would be 5 km long and 2 km across?), but obviously that is a lot less impressive than full size.

They couldn't possibly have thought of that. Couldn't possibly have. They did. I am amazed this worked at all.

Loved that hitchhiker's guide reference at 3:06.

This goes along the lines of having two planets so close together that their atmospheres merge at a point, resulting in an area where gravity nearly cancels itself out. The idea of surrounding a small moon with a konstruct and then making gravity invert like that would be fascinating to see.

I love building bases with Kerbals konstructs

9:45 WHAT IS THAT RED ORBIT

This is how artificial gravity is created in the asteroids of The Expanse.. they make big ones like Ceres , Eros, Pallas and so rotate so they create aceleration outwards and then build tunnels and cavities inside .. therefor the surface becames the floor.. ships docking have to fly "up" into the ground (the advantage is that to fly away they just need to undock and fall). Of course in reality such bodies would break apart most likelly with that rotation and stress.. but it was quite interesting

Sitting at bar Scott Manley walks over "Hey wanna have some fun... No wings attached?"

This gave me a headache, I can't unsee upside down.

This reminds me of Inaccessible from the Krag Planet Factory all those years ago...

what a great video, I laughed a lot :p

What would be really interesting is getting it balanced so you stick to the surface, but only just.

I’m working on an artificial gravity station that during the first test did produce a slight gravitational pull and caused the rocket that I had going near it to be dragged toward it even after I boosted away from it for a second the “planet” has 16 rotary wheels spinning in the same direction making a circle causing a disturbance in gravity thought It has now become to heavy and with no engine to keep it in orbit the disturbance in gravity keeps sending in into kerbin and usually it burns up before it crashes any ideas how to make it stay in orbit?

Some say that first wolf can still be seen for miles to this day...

This is a good planet idea for ksp2

Hi! Can someone tell me if the earths rotation messes with the barometric height formulae? I would really like to know.

Nailed the landing!

Love the nod to Douglas Adams.

Insert Tom Cruise gif "I was inverted"

I have always wondered about what would happen with this!

The Laythe winter looks harsh. Stow the flare gun, plant a flag, switch back to free camera, and blast out of there before more alien wolves turn up.

I love the hitchhikers guide reference Now for some Vogon poetry *dies*

It would be really sick if there were other places to go and .. that if you could tell a Kerbal to fly to a point, and then you fly and rendezvous with it and fuel it up....

Can someone please explain how Scott's version of KSP his air/space craft have flares and you can see when he breaks the sound barrier and stuff? I just get a slight orange glow on re-entry lol

When Kites achieve escape velocity

It's like if they were much better prepared for the gravity flipping in Patema Inverted

Nobody: Scott Manley: this video

would increasing kerbin orbit speed around kerbol do the same but with over 9000g on one side and reverse, plus 0g areas in the right spots?

That lifted runway made me wonder, why dont we use angled runways? For taking off, you wouldnt need as much fuel cause youd be going down, and for landing, you could brake quicker.

Escape velocity is 11.2km/s on earth. Rotational velocity at the equator is .46 km/s. The earth would have to spin 25 faster, about once per hour. You would experience some interesting coriolis effects though. When driving at highway speeds you would experience several hundred pounds of force. This would actually give you more downforce when driving West.

Only Scott Manley could pull off a J-turn in a cargo plane.

if you are flying with the keyboard try using atmosphere autopilot, it will let you limit AOA or G so that you don't stall every time you pitch up or down.

Been waiting for you to find kopernicus XD EDIT: you can set kerbin's gravity to a negative number, but also manually set the sphere of influence to its normal number otherwise the game breaks EDIT2: you can also use PQSCity to make your own waster eggs similar to the old city mods. Idk how to do the model though

Forget space elevators, just accelerate the earth so the atmosphere itself goes into orbit

Liked the video for the epic backflip takeoff

The Tycho corporation called, they want Ceres’ spin gravity back.

a planet like this would be really cool in KSP 2

Creating artificial gravity on a naturally gravitational object. Classic Scott Manly.

So it is thanks to Scott that NERVs only use LF now? Thank you Scott!

That's how the Australian space programm looks like!

"It's picking up a bit of a shimmy!"

With the rotation hacked you could build a SPACE TRAIN!

You shoul'd try to go retrograd until your apoapsis go back inside the planet and see what append then!

Easiest VTOL ever.

So I've been thinking about this for a while now, and you seen like the perfect person to ask. How fast would the earth have to spin for centrifugal forces to overcome gravity and bring the core to the surface and the surface to the center? I also think it would be interesting to find out how the core flipping to the outside would affect gravity.

Do a reentry and landing like this! I wonder what it would look like.

Try the Eötvös effect! If you fly towards west fast enough, things should fall down again according Eötvös effect

Hey, can you design a large craft that uses reverse thrust as its means of forward propulsion?

@19:41, @20:30 Never go up against Scott when he's got a rocket targeted at you!

Now you have to build flying carrier and have a plane land on it.

Most brilliant idea ever, reverse gravity!!!!!!!

I still want to see you (or Danny) use the wind mood to make a tornado at the North Pole

love the douglas adams reference

And then suddenly The Long Dark at the end

Hey love your videos your tutorials were awesome but I was wondering if you could go step by step building an interplanetary rocket going anywhere doesn't matter so I can get the premise because I cannot get past Minimus or whichever one the further out one is and I've been stuck for months now yep and just need to get a part by part guide to build one just once to see what im missing i have almost the entire tech tree and would really appreciate the help oh im on the ps4

I serched for Kerbal Constructs and I can't find the mod that adds the runway, does anyone know the name of the mod?

Scott, I have a problem with landing on the Mun and the ships there (3 of them) fly off (as if me landing makes them fly off from what could be "wind")... Could it be a glitch? I land in other places on the Mun with other ships near by but they do not fly off (float). I don't have Kopernicus mod so.. just wondering if you have ran into this?

Kerbal Space Program: Crimes against physics simulator!

theres an anime movie with this same effect (caused by out of control super science in its case) the civilization made up of people who floated away was really weird

Scott Manley; _mad scientist_ .
