Fastest ride on earth

[Madhav]

This is the kinda ride where if you put your foot down, you're dead. This thing can pull 157 g's (humans black out at like 7-8g's) and has a top speed of mach 8.5 (over 10,000km/h)

Haha jesus christ. 157 G's that is absolutely ridiculous. Mild whiplash probably.

One question, what are you supposed to do with it?

 

[naughtika]

travel to moon and back in 10 seconds.. lol

 

[bradc]

We've got to get to 8800mph to get back to the future?

 

[mickelmaster]

But you still can't ride it remember.

What is it?:001_huh:

 

[Madhav]

You throw it in the boot of the leggie and and pull up at the lights... Guaranteed never to loose a drag ever again.

It was built to break the land speed record.

How do you stop?

 

[GTOX]

You disintegrate.

So if a war starts, they have to build train tracks to the enemies country to launch this thing? Or do they plan on sending it off a ramp like a massive jump?

Yeah! The Gustav gun is amazing isn't it!? I find it interesting that its not more widely known. I guess history really is written by the victorious.

Indeed, I really would love to spend some time in Germany looking at their versions of WW2
