Propellant Memes

Next time you're absolutely livid with someone, just remember: launching them into the Sun is actually the LESS efficient option. Turns out yeeting someone completely out of the solar system requires way less delta-v (change in velocity) than fighting against the Sun's gravitational pull. It's like trying to throw something into a whirlpool versus just chucking it away from you—one requires way more effort. But wait, there's more! The follow-up reply is pure gold: "You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant." Because nothing says "I'm a rational person" like optimizing your revenge fantasies for fuel economy. Physics folks really do be out here applying orbital mechanics to their anger management strategies.
