Here’s a crazy space mission I found out about 🧵(1/5) TAU (Thousand Astronomical Units) was a 1987 study to send a probe to 1000AU (the Oort Cloud) IN 50 YEARS For context, it will take Voyager 1 300 years to get there

So turns out this vehicle is 30t, so no falcon would even be able to launch it, as structural limit for all falcons is 24t What is happening is SX are handing off the vehicle to NASA, who will procure a launcher for it, but I guess there’s 0 possibility of a falcon Heavy launch

On it’s outbound flight, TAU would do a flyby of Pluto. After 10 years and travelling 80AU, it’s propellant would run out and TAU would be travelling ~0.04% the speed of light It would pass the Heliopause ~ Year 12, which is much quicker then Voyager 1, taking 35 years

Newtons 3rd law - any action has an equal and opposite reaction. Rockets don’t push off anything. They throw “stuff” out the back of them. The action here is throwing a certain mass of “stuff” out of it, and since weight is a force, the rocket is pushed forward by an equal force
