renormalizer , to xkcd in xkcd #2935: Ocean Loop

I think so. At the apex of the loop gravity balances centrifugal force, Fg = Fc, when going the minimal speed necessary to get through the loop. Fg = m g, Fc = m v^2 / r. So mass m drops out of the equation.

You just have to go fast enough. The minimum speed keeping you from falling out of a circular loop is sqrt(gr), with gravitational acceleration g and loop radius r. 10m radius requires 36km/h, which might be suitable for a Jetski. Larger ships need bigger loops to physically fit, and consequently larger speeds. It's quite surprising, but a monstrous 100m radius loop needs less than 120km/h.

renormalizer , to Star Trek in Star Trek on LaserDisc, if you've got the right equipment, it looks amazing! (samples in the description)

IIRC from the “What we left behind” documentary, they were shot on film. They even had a few minutes of HD material scanned from the film reels. It’s the CGI that was baked only into the tape version that makes it so difficult to do a HD remaster. And why they went back to the tapes when producing the DVD release.

renormalizer , to Star Trek in ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Season 3 Available For Free On YouTube, Prime Video And Pluto TV In USA

They seem to have pulled Season 3 here in Germany even though it was marketed as an “Amazon Original”. Seasons 1 and 2 are still on Prime. Pretty disappointed because I just started a rewatch.
