Not just some, but MOST of the commenters still believe there are human beings careening through space at 10 times the speed of a sniper bullet.

10 times.
The speed.
Of a sniper bullet.

We might be cooked, fam 💀

The International Space Station is a common sense test. (17,500 MPH is about 10x the speed of a speeding sniper bullet btw) https://blossom.primal.net/9da462659b993041615a46da3d780217472028dcf76875f8d54415c50c2b39c0.mp4

Do you understand the nature of positive, negative, and zero acceleration? And relativity?

Force = Mass x Acceleration. The plane is accelerating the space station is traveling at a constant speed ie acceleration = 0.

Bro this is really simple. A crewed rocket going to space will typically reach a peak acceleration of 40 m/s². A fighter jet can reach peak accelerations of 80+ m/s². So the fighter jet guy would experience WAYYY more force and “g” then the rocket crew going to space. Btw, at an acceleration ...
