Pretty cool. Would love a first-person view as well, especially with a fully modeled cockpit and g-force blackout simulation. I'm dying to know what it would be like to be to actually be in one of these things during a crazy stunt. My intuition tells me that the g-forces make it completely impractical.
Thanks! There's no cockpit view yet, but it's a good idea. In the demo, the on-screen readout peaked at 3.3 g while the thrusters were braking the fall. But that's a brief spike, and to black out you need a high g-force that lasts several seconds.
Awesome simulation!
You should launch it and have it meet up with the Tesla heading to Mars :)
Ha, thanks! I ran the numbers. The cold-gas thrusters have an exhaust velocity of about 682 m/s, so by the rocket equation, reaching escape velocity needs a mass ratio of about 13 million. That's roughly 30 million tonnes of compressed air for one Roadster :)
