It's understandable that people think
00:00:03.021 --> 00:00:05.379
the biggest acceleration
someone can experience
00:00:05.463 --> 00:00:07.506
is during liftoff of a space mission.
00:00:07.059 --> 00:00:10.003
But rockets are designed
to keep the acceleration low
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:13.888
to limit the Gs sustained so astronauts
can remain awake and alert.
00:00:13.971 --> 00:00:14.093
So...
00:00:15.681 --> 00:00:18.976
It's not the size of the engines,
or straight-line thrust that matters.
