### Regression analysis

Pressure:

- 500km-1029.2km: `p[bar](x[m]) = exp(-13.3961516218 - 0.0000071595 * x)`
- 200km-500km: `p[bar](x[m]) = exp(-3.4340885227 - 0.0000277865 * x)`
- 0km-200km: `p[bar](x[m]) = exp(-0.0020248515 - 0.0000454102 * x)`
- <0km: `p[bar](x[m]) = -(1.45773e-16) * x^3 + 1` (low-effort cubic regression on `[(-70000km, 50Mbar), (0m, 1bar)]`)

Density:

- 500km-1029.2km: `rho[kg/m³](x[m]) = exp(-15.98781474626208 - 0.00000816092074*x)`
- 200km-500km: `rho[kg/m³](x[m]) = exp(-4.22487505187567 - 0.00003251947782*x)`
- 0km-200km: `rho[kg/m³](x[m]) = exp(-1.83275074106303 - 0.00004486861245*x)`
- -62000km-0km: `rho[kg/m³](x[m]) = -0.0000725781*x + 0.16` (linear regression)
- -70000km-62000km: `rho[kg/m³](x[m]) = 25000.0 / (1 + exp(0.00000580528 * x + 361.44394)))` (logistic regression)

New mechanics:

- [X] Ambient Pressure
    - [X] Depends on altitude
- [ ] Temperature
    - [ ] Ambient temperature
    - [ ] Space suit temperature
    - [ ] Vehicle temperature
    - [ ] Air temperature inside?

- [ ] Hydrogen (resource)?

Relations between mechanics:

- [X] Pressure decelerates you
    - [X] relative to the motion of the planet
    - [ ] accounting for the wind
    - [X] scaled by your surface area
- [ ] Ambient temperature heats up suit/vehicle temperature, depending on density
- [ ] [Buoyancy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy): upward acceleration depending on densities (yours and ambient), altitude (gravitational acceleration), and your mass
    - Negligible for any current vehicles but could be cool for zeppelins
- [X] [Drag?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)) (with different drag coefficients depending on vehicle and angle)
    - [X] [Form drag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_drag#Form_drag)
    - [ ] [Lift-induced drag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag)
- [X] Death at pressure of ~1000 bar through implosion (depending on vehicle)
- [ ] Death at high temperatures through continuous damage when temperature exceeds 60°C
- [ ] Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water, used for evaporative cooling (works only at right pressure/temperature)
- [ ] Refill Hydrogen inside Jupiter's atmosphere

## Uses

- [X] Oxygen
    - [X] Breathing
