So I think, I will, and I'm thinking from a little bit of a more military-minded perspective here,

I mean, it depends how those missiles were targeting you.

If they were straight, just plug the coordinates in or tell you your angle of elevation and your velocity at launch, then absolutely, if you move out of the way, well, then you're not going to be there.

So it would work to defend.

If it were something more in the lines of if it was locking onto a heat signature of some kind, then doing that death blossom move, as you described, might fire the engine such that it moves the heat signature of the vessel enough that those missiles might get confused by what they're locking onto, and that would save them.

The third kind of thing I can think of would be that if...

the cannons were facing the wrong way.

If somebody's coming up behind you and you have to turn around, well, doing a little flip to really be, have that element of surprise and maintain that element of surprise would definitely be an option.

From a physics perspective, mostly all of that would just be really uncomfortable because the G's you're pulling to get even that vessel to be able to do that kind of maneuver quickly

you have some crack shot pilots in there to be able to withstand 12G and then lock onto a target and still have some kind of wherewithal about them without having passed out.

Right.

Grant?

Yeah, I studied neuroscience through a Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne.

Listen, you're doing too much.

No.

Yeah, so it's a charity that I started, founded it in April of last year.

So it's just ticked over to a year, which is really exciting.

We do free academic support options for disadvantaged students across Sydney and New South Wales.

When I first moved to Sydney, I had to make ends meet and I started tutoring myself to just...

have some workload to be able to afford to go to uni again and everything.
