remember that humans die at 10Gs
This is not exactly true. Arguably, it's half false. In any case, this is more nuanced than what you state. There may be some humans who die at 10G. Prolonged exposure to high G might increase the death toll. People could be maintained at 10G unconscious, if they are in the right position, on the right kind of couch.
Humans have survived much higher G loads.

- hinkley 7y agoI was about to argue with you and then realized I misspoke. Humans begin to die at 10Gs, as in survivability starts to drop at that point and if the point is to get the humans there and back again, that’s not very good. Regardless, if people can survive 20Gs that still only doubles your range. And since we are discussing a category error of orders of magnitude, my point still stands.
