    Hey Mart, fun fact. Since 1940, attempting the Water Speed Record comes with an 85% mortality rate. Since the 1930’s, 7 out of the 13 people who have attempted to break the water speed record sadly died during the process. Since Australian Ken Warby snatched the record in 1978, there have been only 2 official attempts. Sadly, both ended in the driver dying.
    The reason why is because of resistance. For the land speed record, all you need is a perfectly flat surface, and favourable conditions. However, with water, it’s highly unpredictable. Even the smallest wave can cause disastrous results.

    Did some random math for how much force that Jeb experienced near the end of the video:
    We can assume that our acceleration is equal to our velocity due to the fact no deceleration should have occurred and that we went from 0m/s to the V(f). Along with that 1 kerbal is about 45kg. Multiplying them together gives us about 8.4452e10N of force.
    In other words, Jeb experienced the force of around 6,849,310.62 Suns all the same time.

      You forgot that mass increases as you get faster. At light speed mass basically becomes infinity. So its technically beyond infinit energy.

      I think it's just a misunderstanding about what we were exactly talking about ^^ He was talking of the energy needed to make Jeb reach thatt speed

    I love how this devolved from trying to break the land speed record, to ballistic experiments with kerbals

    To be honest
    that's exactly how I imagine it would be like. One second there is light, the other you see yourself pass by the sun and into another solar system.
