QUOTE (ugordan @ Jan 22 2007, 12:24 PM) Galactic center? Great Attractor? Seriously, though, velocity at departure from Earth might be one way of doing it - or even days in flight/distance from Earth (aha! which side of the orbit... ...oh, bother!).

Bob, in that case it would be more fitting to talk about energy, not velocity, specifically Characteristic energy. A smaller payload can get propelled faster so energies are a better way to directly compare things. Talking about speed is just a way to invoke that "oooh" factor in laymen, nothing else.
It's All Relative ™, anyway... -------------------- |

Yes, I'd been idly musing in that direction... ...really, we'd need a new unit of energy, too - something comparable to area (the Wales) or mass (the US Naval Destroyer).

QUOTE (Bob Shaw @ Jan 22 2007, 01:22 PM) ...really, we'd need a new unit of energy, too - something comparable to area (the Wales) or mass (the US Naval Destroyer). I quite agree. But it needs to be scaled to best suit the application. And so I humbly propose the: Hot Bath It's intuitive, commonplace, and gives you a real sense of potent energy. Here's a few comparisons to whet your appetite (and don't forget to do behind your ears) 200 hours of TV = 1 HB 1kg from launch to LEO = 3.3 HB 1kg from launch to GEO = 9.7 HB Kinetic Energy (relative to the Sun) of New Horizons = 6.3 kHB 1 Transatlantic jet flight = 18 kHB Apollo 17 = 400 kHB etc...
