YouTube science channel The Action Lab had a fun idea: use the physics-heavy driving simulator BeamNG.drive to show what it would be like to drive on various heavenly bodies.<\/p>\n
Heres the Earth, for a baseline:<\/p>\n
And heres the simulation with gravity set to that of the Moon, making it difficult to even get traction:<\/p>\n
Then the YouTubers went hard by flipping on Jupiters gravity, which immediately crushed their simulated truck into the ground:<\/p>\n
Things go completely off the rails when they set the gravity to that of the Sun, instantly crushing the test vehicle:<\/p>\n
They also try a bunch of other parameters, including lifting the truck up and then dropping it with various gravity settings. The whole thing is worth a watch!<\/p>\n
