Default Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Care to write an equation or two to demonstrate that?

You need an equation?

I throw a baseball into the air. It lands twenty feet away. The starting
point and ending point are different.

It's a two body
problem, one massive with respect to the other. The initial conditions
are a vertical impulse from the surface, of a massive sphere. That's
high school physics.

I finished high school a long time ago.
