Nice actually seeing this on paper. Gonna have to try some of these equations playing KSP. 🙃awesome video
-
You forgot to point out that the total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential, but potential is negative because the G has a minus sign in front of it, and that's why you've got a minus sign in the equation despite having said "plus."

Great video, Ryan! Looking forward to Part II

I like your videos. You're full of energy and able to condense the information while keeping it simple. If you're not already a professor, I would recommend you try teaching. You seem to have a knack for it :) You helped me a lot, Thanks!

WOW! I really enjoyed this video. I'd like to make those calculations to see how big of a rocket do I need (almost 0 payload and by big I mean mass) to put it in orbit. I learned a lot. Thanks
