What Actually Happens If You Try To Land On Neptune

Neptune has the fastest winds ever measured anywhere, over two thousand kilometres an hour, on a planet that receives almost no energy from the sun. Nobody fully knows where that power comes from. You would find out on the way down, briefly.
In this video you follow the descent through the last giant. Why the blue is methane and what that gas does to your view as you fall through it. What the winds would do to a ship before the pressure ever got the chance. Why the cold near the top gives way to heat that should not be there, and what the planet is doing deep inside to produce it. Where the rain turns to diamond, and why that is not a figure of speech here either. What lies underneath, an ocean of water, ammonia and methane under pressures no laboratory can reproduce, and why there is no surface to land on even at the end. Then the reframe: why the only spacecraft ever to visit flew past in 1989 and no one has been back since, and what that says about how little of your own solar system has actually been seen. By the end you will understand why the farthest planet is the one we know least.

Hahahaha... here's the thing you need to remember about Be-lie-fs and Be-lie-vers:
"The opposing forces of Truth and Reality are Be-lie-fs and Be-lie-vers"
