Why is it so difficult to crash into the Sun? This numerical calculation in python shows just how difficult it can be. Homework questions included.

links to some interesting video. I think I had 1 chapter on orbital dynamics in school. good explanation of why it’s not really as simple as dropping it in. probably old news to most.

    Space is mostly empty anyway, so the chances of crashing into anything is pretty low. That’s why space travel is so safe.
