The event horizon is where the escape velocity exceeds the velocity of light.
That’s less of a concern when you have the technology to travel faster than light.
Fair enough.
Did young Kelly know about the Kaylons? Seems like most of that episode was focused on her and her relationship to Ed. They wouldn’t have briefed her, of course, because they intended to wipe her memory.
Did the Kaylons appear last episode?
Which, of course, means that the Kaylon not checking inside calls their vaunted intelligence into question.
(Also, their ship can handle being in the event horizon of a black hole, but not under a few miles of water?)
Yes, they hid from the Kaylons in ice.
People who dislike Admiral Janeway are found to have issues with their Mothers. :dubious:

We saw the end of a discussion where we hear Lt kelly say something to the effect of “and he betrayed his people?” So she knew the details of the Kaylon war.
Mercer said, “When in doubt, tell the truth” concerning the relationship, but I don’t know if they told her about the present and the Kaylons.
My mother? I’ll tell you about my mother …
I don’t think so. Everyone stayed at 1 atmospheric pressure inside the ship.
But the ship would have only been designed for a little over 1 atmosphere since that’s all it would have to contain in space. (Although I can fanwank that the ship was built to be able to land on other, possibly higher ATM planets, and/or structural integrity field generator thingee.)
Let’s go to the tape. 23:45, when Ed and Lt. Kelly are having dinner.
Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Well, it’s a space ship, so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.
I was trying to remember that! Thank you.
Vindicated! [does happy dance}
It was a hugely dramatic event that happened a few months earlier - it must be a major topic of conversation bound to come up when a fresh set of ears is around to listen to the stories.
Don’t forget, when Ed took Alara to Xelaya, he was nearly crushed by the planet’s gravity, while the shuttle was protected by its shields/field generator/unobtanium hull/whatever. The shuttle (therefore, the ship itself) obviously can handle more than just Earth conditions, so why shouldn’t it be designed to withstand intense pressure, particularly when real-life Earthlings built a ship in 1960 that carried real-life humans to the bottom of the Mariana trench and back.
What kind of stress does FTL put on the hull? What stresses are caused by the event horizon of a black hole?
I don’t know about FTL, but an event horizon itself causes no effect (it’s an important threshold, but doesn’t have any physical effect other than being the point of no return). The tidal effects of a black hole can be very small if the hole is very massive (you read that right - a small black hole has large tidal effects, a large one has small tidal effects).
For fifteen minutes? :dubious:
Twenty minutes, but so what? The Orville is set 450 years after the Challenger expedition. Do you think we’ll be able to travel faster than the speed of light, but won’t have made advances in metallurgy and how long you can subject something to overpressurization?
I’m reminded of this
