That is actually based on the idea from project Orion propulsion via explosions

[socialwill]

…and then this fails due to a faulty bolt from Boeing

[pixsilvb]

First I served a Baratheon, then a Stark, then a Targaryen, a Stark again, and finally I serve an Interstellar Global Defence Network!

I love Liam Cunningham’s character in this show. He’s all about “don’t tell me what we can’t do, tell me what we can do!”

[robertbohnaker]

My Dad said these were ‘normal ideas’ when he worked at the Pentagon in the late 50’s 😂…

[theduke]

Project Orion, and they projected almost 15 percent light speed was feasible with a large enough stockpile of nukes

[k-or]

ok now u need to design a probe that can survive 1, 000 nuclear blasts at a close enough range to get that acceleration while maintaining incredibly tight positioning and timing while moving at over 8 million miles an hour

[ctsperformance]

He is so much like Cecile from a
Invincible.

[PhinPhan]

Seems like an unneccesary shot at Vin Diesel.

[SentryDoesRetro]

Did... Did she just attempt the peasant cannon?

[agro_ink]

This is my favorite show currently in Netflix.. Just learned that this season is just the tip of the iceberg... There's so much more unfathomable story

[Ryukachoo]

Note; this isnt Orion, its Medusa
Orion was a rear-launch system with a pusher plate
Medusa was a forward-launch system with a massive modified solar sail up front, which was arguably more efficient because it captured more of the emitted light

[cathoderay]

I remember an article from perhaps thirty years ago that discussed what was possible with current technology on a theoretical level and indicated that, with the maturity of material science, humanity would be capable of building a craft capable of reaching 96% of the speed of light. It would take a long time to accelerate and a long time to decelerate, but it looked very possible. I think it was in Analog magazine, but I cannot recall the author.

[dontgetmadgetwise]

Nice of the enemy to announce themselves first.

[billcox]

Very interesting clip. Thank you for putting the show title in the description

[davidsault]

Long before they intercept at 1% light speed, they will have invented a faster way to travel.

[JFrazer]

Freeman Dyson worked on the old General Atomics "Project Orion".
Later on his own for curiosity, he looked into how well it could scale up if built in space, and not from the top of tiny hyper-expensive rockets launched from down here.

Without assuming any new technology, and using known 1960s nuclear explosives techniques.

It makes a pathetically slow lousy interstellar ship, but if .1C is the ship's total possible velocity change ∆v, it means a 5 million ton super-liner hotel ship that crosses 100 AU in 17 days at peak mid-course coasting speed.
This means nothing to interstellar distances: 63, 000+ AU per light year.
But using no new inventions, it opens up the Kuiper belf and the inner Oort cloud to fairly regular travel.

Note that some 75%+ of what the ship drops for propulsion is some mass like metal, stone & plastics to be vaporized by the explosives' prompt flashes and shot at the aft end of the ship to push it: if a destination comet eating space colony can provide the propellant mass, it's even better.

[TheEventHorizon]

Literally Project Orion from the 50’s instead using an internal magazine of nuclear shaped charges detonated against a pusher plate

[vickydixon]

The 3 issues being; 1 being able to see the ship, 2 then perfectly timing the explosions, and 3, while also not destroying the ship. Each explosion would reduce the time it took to get to the next, quantum effects would start to occur, and we don't currently have elements capable of withstanding that many explosions. So more like 6 problems. 1 of those may be an impossible task "chemicals have limits", there is a limit to how much mass per square inch you can actually have, before it reaches criticality, creating a blackhole. You can't create a dense metal strong enough to withstand that many explosions, without it collapsing into itself under it's own weight.

Sir Davos always the smartest planner and man in the room🤟😜🤟
