Counterpoint: many people will find going 4000mph unbelievably cool (just as with planes, I suppose).

- schnaars 13y agoJust as in fighter jets, wouldn't 4000 MPH put a tremendous strain on the body?
- jonathlee 13y agoIt's not the speed that puts strain on the body, it's the _change_ in speed (i.e. acceleration). You are currently going ~67062 MPH around the sun and probably didn't notice. If you suddenly slowed down to 4000 MPH around the sun, you would definitely notice that. ;-).
