Relative to the probe itself, there would be no detectable increase in muzzle velocity. It's all relative to the place velocity is being measured from. If the weapon was fired out the back of the craft, the projectile would appear from the fixed point in space to be following the craft at an ever increasing distance. |

Stage I boosts the rocket to a certain velocity. Stage II is fired off that initial velocity and adds more. If there is a further third stage, it happens again. |

Fire a projectile containing telemetry sensors and a transceiver from a probe and monitor the speed and velocity of the probe and projectile from a satellite. This could be done with very small craft given the extent of miniaturization and technology we have today. Something akin to firing an iPhone out of a toaster sized probe. Easy peazy |

If so, not disputing you, we should be constructing multiple staged vehicles at the ISS to travel through space at greater speeds |

Quoting: Hymie Heeb 70810510 If we fired jews out of the cannon, we could also factor in the loss of mass of the probe when the jew exits the ship, resulting in still greater increase in velocity due to force being applied to a reduced mass. Not to mention how much fun it might be to do that. We should start testing on that propulsion system immediately. No matter how many jews it takes, we'll find a way to make it work. |

You could be in charge of finger painting poop swastikas on the probes of your obviously Iranian / Antartic Nazi space programs probes. Cyborg Hitler will be pleased |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70796738 You should have paid more attention in school. You should have paid more attention since you can't answer a basic question: does the projectile leave the barrel or not? Or are you just to fuckin stupid to answer the question? Go ahead answer it, now prove to everyone how intelligent you are. It either leaves the barrel or doesn't. |
