Babylon Bee:

 

https://babylonbee.c...-from-elon-musk

 

 

Here are 10 more things Lemon asked of Musk:

 

  1. A foot massage from Elon every evening: How else does Elon expect him to work?
  2. A spaceship to keep in his backyard: Pretty standard ask.
  3. To never have to see a past-her-prime, 45-year-old woman ever again: Obviously.
  4. A guy to follow him around and tell him how awesome his turtleneck looks: So fabulous!
  5. A real date with James O'Keefe: No disguises this time.
  6. To be crowned Princess of Wales: Get lost, Kate! Wait a second...
  7. One free chance to mess Anderson Cooper's hair up: That perfect part has been driving Lemon nuts for years.
  8. Mars: A pretty big ask, even from Elon.
  9. Vision insurance with one pair of glasses per year: Ridiculous!
  10. A job at rival fake news site "The Babylon Bee": In your dreams, Lemon.
  11.  

Quite a list, Don! We look forward to seeing who will be next to pay Lemon not to work there.

I just watched it, not much there really.

 

He said the Roadster might go 0-60 in 1 second.  And maybe fly.

 

That sounds like painful g force.

So, 0-60 mph in 10 seconds will expose you to 0.27g. Barely over a quarter of normal Earth gravity. To equal 1g of acceleration, a car would need to get to 60 in 2.74 seconds, roughly. If we want to be really, really exact, it looks like 1g is getting to 60 MPH in 2.73511683 seconds.

 

So, we all know 1g is no problem. Tesla Model S that can get to 60 in 2.39 seconds is pulling 1.14g, which is greater than Earth gravity, just by a bit. Again, no safety issue there. If we jump up to the acceleration levels of a top fuel dragster, we start seeing some bigger numbers.

 

A top-fuel dragster can go from 0-100 MPH in about 0.86 second—rockets don’t even accelerate that quickly, even if they do end up going much, much faster. That kind of acceleration is worth about 5.3g. Plenty, and you’ll definitely feel that (it’ll feel like you’re 5x your weight) but that’s not going to kill you.

 

So how fast would a car have to go before it did kill you? Really, it’s sort of a continuum of issues that happen to your lovely, meaty body. You can experience blackouts or even death if you’re subjected to 4-6g for more than a few seconds, but in very short bursts, humans have been shown to withstand forces of up to 100g and survive.

 

Roller coasters can provide up to about 6g, but the duration is so short, it’s not a health risk. Fighter pilots in compression suits can survive 8 or 9g, but for the purposes of cars, wearing special compression suits is cheating.

 

The record for a human withstanding acceleration was 46.2g, which was experienced by an Air Force officer named John Stapp, who was strapped into a rocket sled. Perhaps he was trying to capture a road runner?

Ya, he was demoted to the morning show, then fired.  Shed no tears though:
