What a moron.

Orbital velocity is 17 500 mph and reached in about 9 minutes.

19 000 mph is reached briefly during descent.



You don't say! Much more since you think that anything let alone a human could survive accelerations of 95g! Everything is less safe when Musk has anything to do with it. The concept of a safe car is alien to him (see what I did there? Of course you didn't; never mind.)


Falcon 9 reaches the defined edge of space in less than 70 secs, around 7000mph it keeps on accelerating upto 17.5k mph once in space where the occupants don't feel the effects, gravity almost zero and acceleration is linear

Much like travelling at 150 mph in a car the only time you feel the acceleration is at the beginning when the punch from the vehicles surge

Ok some of the numbers slightly off 😁
 
The returning astronauts look pretty rough after their extended trip. Unless they develop the sleep chambers from Alien I just don't see extended space travel being a thing. We've evolved for our earthly environment and even if the technology to build the rockets comes to fruition I can't see how our bodies would cope for 3+ years.

You truly are a moron. 'G force' is not the force of gravity, g is a constant used to express positive or negative values in the rate of change of speed. 1g is 9.81 metres per second per second which on Earth is the rate of acceleration (positive or negative) acting on a body due to the Earth's gravity. In other words 'g' is a multiplier in the magnitude of 9.81 m.s.s.

In the first example you gave, the acceleration rate of linear 95g exists even in a gravity-free environment. Which is death.

In the second example you gave, the linear acceleration is 4.57g, which is survivable, but not because the astronauts are not experiencing acceleration from planetary gravity.

In the Expanse books and TV series they simulate gravity using linear acceleration over long distance trips.

Of course gravity has an effect, that why things fall to earth,

I don't abide by another's rules 👍

Fantastic. Now equally you can't demand that others should not be required to abide by your own. Your 'rules' are only for you. As and when you try to impose them on others, those others will do well to just tell you to 'go fu.ck yourself'.
