So If you were able to escape earths orbit and apply thrust in

You'd fall into the sun, dummy.
Do you even kerbal

>>8580023
why cant you hypothetically apply thrust away from the sun

>>8580020
Theoretically, sure.

>>8580028
What, for a year?

What would be the benefit? The night sky is a great reference for seeing where we are in our orbit.

>why cant you hypothetically apply thrust away from the sun

If you were to try to HOVER over the sun without orbiting it, remember, you are fighting against a surface gravity of "274 m/s2 or 28.0 times that of the Earth."

So, in order to not "Fall into" the sun, you would have to be applying that much thrust, sun-wards, for an entire year.

If you could make a ship that was capable of such a feat, then yes... you could "Watch the earth orbit the sun"

>>8580020
Nah because gravity never stops, a pen at the other side of the galaxy would exerce a force on you

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it

There must be an extension of Betteridge's Law of Headlines that includes questions beginning with the word "so".
