That's clever
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The proportions are way off, you're never going to reach Mars this way. You only need 1 mentos per 1 - 1.5 liter of coke
you need about 18000km/s delta V to go from Earth's surface to Mars's surface.
A mentos+coke gets about a couple meters per second delta V.
no, you cannot use 18 million bottles, because of the rocket equation
Not with that attitude, you can't!
"Equation esmation!"

That's the trick, it's actually about advertising to increase the total NASA budget so that they can actually get some space travel done
