Dont be fooled. They said the same thing when he wanted to build a sumbarine.
Last wensday I was in the 3rd submarine he has build, taking the first dive in it.
The Uc3 nautilus is 18.5 meters long and 32 tons.

Here we are sailing into the sunset ;)

In a standing position at 3g acceleration, the blood is going to drain out of your head faster than you can say Wuhhh...*klump*

By the time the rocket turns off, you'll be in no state to take souvenir snapshots of your back garden. Most likely you'll be dead already.

Phil,

Anti-grav "pressurized suits keep the blood in your head. As well as breathing training which equates to grunt breathing to force even more blood into the head will negate the passing out.
Also, do you really think someone who is not given a Class A physical will be allowed to fly. Hell, Richard Garriott just went to the space station. Pilots for jets in the military are given the same training and physicals.

Next time read a book other than Gayboy.
