    i love hitting people with the heat dissipation fact. it’s measurably cold, but if you were out there with no protection you would get quite hot!

      So if i just get brakes into space, and we ignore dying from oxygen deprivation, could I die of overheating?

        Let’s pretend your spherical cow had a blood oxygenating machine implanted where its lungs go because it’s just lungs.

      How many minutes would Elon survive if strapped to the nose cone of a SpaceX rocket sitting in a ducktaped lawnchair wearing a Hawaiian Shirt and shorts and flipflops?

        5-10 idk how fast the rockets ascend, but I’d wager after that time he’d be doing pretty poorly…

        Earths atmosphere is cold, and the rocket is probably too slow to get heated by friction significantly.

        And Theres little oxygen up there.
