thats because land is solid water fucks your BOAT with tiny waves @ high speed

Yeah. Hitting water at speed is fucked, not to mention that the forces you’re vehicle experience also change as you get faster. Makes suddenly getting bounced up and then violently thrown by the water very easy

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Makes sense. Ground is a hard relatively constant surface. Water is ever shifting and at high enough speeds may as well be a concrete wall.

I like that it took approximately 2 minutes to go from struggling to get Jeb off the runway to launching him out of the solar system. That's progress, people.

congrats jeb on breaking the very laws of physics by going around 6 times the speed of light

[@monkeywrench7776]

Can i just point out that at 17:28 he hit the ground *behind* the booster, looks like he also gets the record for closest orbit to kerbin

I like how this turned from a challenge to get the fastest speed record on land to torturing Jeb

[@bacoran1187]

To think Martin spent 3 videos building a warp drive to get to an interstellar star and then did it with 1000 well placed solid rocket boosters and a Kerbal in 20 minutes.

[@user-ek1fq3if7g]

The 1 video is for going FTL and the 2 are for learning how to slow down. Because... It would be quite an interesting experience in hitting a planet at 6c. The problem is that would be your last experience

[@papaspoon1550]

Surprising Jeb can survive being ripped apart into a singularity and spit back out as spaghetti after going multiple times the speed of light

[@ironboi7359]

Mart, thank you for this, you are genuinely the KZbinr who makes me laugh the hardest most consistently. Keep up the amazing work (but don't burn out like so many of your poor, poor kerbals)!

[@sonicsupersam7793]

man, i love the gran turismo soundtrack. Thinking about it now, its quite fitting you used ‘light velocity’ as the opening track

[@suuliziathewise8039]

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.

[@trashiano]

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

@@vyor8837 As an object with mass approach the speed limit, the enery needed to make it move faster approach infinity (because of the mass increase), so Jeb experienced 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

The fact that you heard the music that you entered space before you even saw what happened is hilarious

[@25aida]

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.

I think Jeb went around the planet and fell behind where he started😂

[@HekateMGO]

I love how this started out with land speed record attempts with vehicles and just devolved into building a bunch of man-cannons.

[@divingdays]

Jeb not only reduced to atoms. But to quarks of those atoms at that speed.

[@J8DENTHECANADIAN]

The fact that he casually yeets kerbals using a mass drive vaporizing them as they hit the air at 27348mps is very telling

Pro tip: If you're looking for stability, you need rudder fins in the back behind the vehicle's center of mass. This makes it fly across the ground like a dart falling through the air, and should negate most chances of the craft spinning out

[@stevepittman3770]

Holy shit, at 17:23 when you launched Jeb he went from 14.6m/s in one frame to 337,712m/s in the next. That's ~338 km/s, or ~755,000 mph, but even more impressively that's a change in speed of 337,697 m/s in 1/24th of a second (~0.042 seconds), resulting in a rate of acceleration north of 800,000g.
