[Chattox]

Pre-ordered so hard my left mouse button was launched into orbit

Pre-ordered so hard my left mouse button was launched into orbit

So... you pushed your left mouse button so hard... that it broke through your mouse, bore through the earth's crust, went through the very center of the earth, then bore all the way up again, burst from the ground, flew through the air, left out atmosphere, and is currently in orbit around the earth?

It's impossible to get something into orbit from the surface with only a single application of force. Trufax.

[Max White]

False. It is theoretically possible, you just need to be at earths highest point (So that is won't crash into anything) and apply a crap load of force (To achieve the velocity required for such a low orbit) as such, we can assume Chattox is a mountain climber.

[Frumple]

Really, you just need a big enough boom. If there's no longer a planet there it becomes orbit by default, right?

I give a finger to your hard physics.

Actually that is a good point, he didn't mention in orbit of what.
Could very, very easily be in orbit of the sun right now... Although that might have less to do with the clicking and more to do with being on Earth.

It is possible to send an object into Earth orbit by a single application of force - meaning a single hard punt from the ground, and letting gravity do its thing afterwards. It won't technically be a stable orbit, but it will be outside of the atmosphere, and not in any immediate danger of crashing into things. This is assuming the object is otherwise indestructible, or is provided some form of protection from both the punt and the atmosphere during ascent.

It's not really an orbit if it's going to come crashing back down.

I'm still hesistant. I just wish that I knew how long this is going to go on (this pre-order thingie.)

So, any sources on how long this pre-order is still going to last?

Hehe, nope. A nice elliptic orbit with a perigee higher than the edge of Earth's atmosphere and an apogee... way higher than that. Not in danger of crashing into anything for at least a few years, maybe longer if done right.

[ScriptWolf]

Just preordered this is looks so good !

[Frumple]

Re-dinging the pool question. Got a tentative three, I think, one more to split four ways. Anyone interested?

[Ultimuh]

Pre-ordered.
Pixel tier, nothing much, I know.. But it's really all I need.

[choppy]

dang i wish i could get this.
