*all space launch systems consist of something yeeting something to orbit.

The main difference is the origin of yeet power. And how much is left behind.

Rockets aren't really yeeting the object, since they push it constantly most of the way there.

 

Non rocket methods, however, are mostly:

    1) Get thing going fast while you hold it

    2) Release it (YEET)

 

The release part is what constitutes the yeet, since no additional effort is made by the machine. The rocket not only stays attached throughout most of the journey, but may also push it more than once, thus not being a true yeet.

Ah, ok.

Are there any non rocket methods that aren't yeeting?

Sorry.

Some "words" should.

Still, even if they're put in quotes, they shouldn't. Free speech is a thing, and whether you like something or not does not warrant any sort of physical punishment.

Some words should result in capital punishment.

Are you really going to punish the whole capital for somebody's words?!
How cruel...

Even Av-da Ked-vra with a magic wand in hands.

I was more surprised when they actually did a 1.6.1.

Every evening a man returns home from work, sits down on the bed, takes off one by one the boots, and throws them at the opposite wall: "BANG!.. BANG!.."
Once he has thrown the first boot: "BANG!..", takes the second one, but starts thinking: "What a bad guy I am! The neighbor is probably sleeping, and I'm waking him up."
He accurately puts the boot on the floor, lies down on the bed, and starts sleeping.
Five minutes later he hears: "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Hey, you! Where is the second?! How long should I wait?!"

That reminds me of an old joke, where a guy in a hotel room is waiting for the other boot to drop. Finally he bangs on the door only to discover that the guy has a peg leg...

maybe it was a Mad Magazine cartoon...

Well, yeah.  Speech is fine.

Pretending that random noises are speech, however...

Would a yoyo despin be a yeet?

At least on this forum I'd expect people to know that you can't just throw something into orbit.

At least not without getting smacked in the back of your head, which would significantly degrade the orbital parameters.

Huh.  What ever happened to that free speech I recently heard about?

You're free to continue, as I'm not imposing anything that would prevent you from speaking. I would, however, enjoy it if you would stop grasping for arguments - but in no way am I going to force you to.

Game of Thrones,

(Caution: not a spoiler right now but may become it in future)

Spoiler

(just in case)

Spoiler

Only Sansa is at her place. Probably, "it's her place", and she will be the last survivor.

(It's a pity, I dislike her very much)

P.S.
Poor Miranda. And of course, Rosie. This cruel, cruel world.

Why are the SW Star Destroyers white?

Obviously their reactors produce much more waste heat than they can get from the sunlight.

Why not color them in space camouflage?

Or cover with chameleon tiles?

They’re too busy watching Star Trek.
