    I really like Randall but this one feels like an incomplete answer. The question wasn’t how fast can we do it while being safe, the question was how fast we can do it while being alive - which is as we all know very different from safe.

      Isn't that what the different G force limits at the end are about? Like, 10 G is way beyond what is survivable for that sort of duration, so it's provided as a lower limit for the time

      If you’re only live threateningly injured doing analysis, but die 5 minutes later, it counts as a win.

    Jugding from the title, I’m not going to open this video right before or right after my breakfast.

      I’m in awe of a stomach so delicate it can be turned by an animated stick figure physics diagram.
