The 10,000g would be approximately uniform through the entire volume of the ship, so no damage. In a regular rocket, the acceleration would have to be transmitted to passengers and cargo through the normal force, and that would crush you.
- mrkstu 3y agoMakes sense, though if you'd asked me before your explanation, I'd have thought the idea of accelerating at high speed without leaving free fall impossible.
