If the planets line up correctly, you can do it in way less, like 4 or 5 months. I’d need to get some orbital calculations out for the whole thing
But simplest case, you lower your perihel to Venus orbit, that’ll take you less than half a year. With a perfect gravity assist you can then head straight for the sun at more than orbital speed, accelerating as you go. Free fall time is a fraction of orbit time, and you’re going in with a high initial velocity, so a month or two more, max. That’s 6-9 months total, but it’ll be faster with more Δv
The thing explodes when it collides with sometime, usually because a circuit gets closed. It seems like it exploded the moment he put it down. A better call would have been too keep it in hand and try to disarm it. Or, you know, surrender as soon as you see a drone coming towards you
That’s not the only thing in the air at Boeing that’s not working
I love how much fun Karlach is having in most of them
