Ah yes, the land speed record that is 6.3 times the speed of light. Incredible work froggy man.

He wanted to use a plane, but not leave the ground. He removes everything that will keep you stable, but doesn't remove what lifts you off the ground.

Jeb went over 1870000 km/s which is over 6x the speed of light. He's made out of some really strong material, we need to study Jeb further.

The entire last launch was comedy gold. The lag, the sudden darkness, the turn to see the sun and realising just how fast he's going, the burst into laughter. Perfection.

For a brief moment in time, Jeb went at 1,876,710,418.2 meters per second. For an impossibly short time, Jeb, was the single fastest moving object in history.

Just remember that Jeb was launched *horizontally* into the outer solar system instantly

Martins the kind of guy who opens the window on a submarine because he wants some fresh air

I love how you sent a man horizontally so fast that he became a comet

I love the white flash as jeb went 6x the speed of sound. For a faint moment, Jeb saw the afterlife.

The much deadlier cousin to the land speed record is the water speed record which has an 85% mortality rate which blows my mind every time I’m reminded of it.

Did some random math for how much force that Jeb experienced near the end of the video: We can assume that our acceleration is equal to our velocity due to the fact no deceleration should have occurred and that we went from 0m/s to the V(f). Along with that 1 kerbal is about 45kg. Multiplying them together gives us about 8.4452e10N of force. In other words, Jeb experienced the force of around 6,849,310.62 Suns all the same time.

Jeb: casually exceeds the speed of light, but keeps going further For science

Congratulations to Jeb for becoming the fastest known stellar object

I like that it took approximately 2 minutes to go from struggling to get Jeb off the runway to launching him out of the solar system. That's progress, people.

17:33 “Now this, is fast. But we can go faster…” 18:00 *Proceeds to launch kerbal into interstellar space*

I love how this started out with land speed record attempts with vehicles and just devolved into building a bunch of man-cannons.

When Jeb's desiccated remains slam into another planetary body, then it'll be a land speed record. Technically.........

Imagine the people in the buildings watching trillions of dollars going 500k m/s towards them before turning the last second avoiding them

Why am I not surprised that this went from a land speed record to launching a Kerbal at 6 times the speed of light

Surprising Jeb can survive being ripped apart into a singularity and spit back out as spaghetti after going multiple times the speed of light

I love how this devolved from trying to break the land speed record, to ballistic experiments with kerbals

Sometimes you gotta invent the strongest cannon known to Kerbalkind to break the land speed record... But then again, I suppose a rocket IS just a reverse cannon after all...

Jeb not only managed to get in space, he also escaped the sun's orbit

For Jeb, He stepped to the side, felt heat for a fraction of a second, then in a flash he saw Kerbol approach then disappear into the distance as Jeb rapidly outpaces the light that would normally reach his eyes and breaks many known laws of physics. Thank you Jeb, your contributions and sacrifice will be remembered as you slowly suffocate in the cold dark depths of interstellar space.

Martin refusing to realise that downforce is incredibly important for staying on the ground going at such high speeds cracks me up

Jeb going 1.8 billion forever must be an interesting experience for him

I'm not sure that the act of literally mopping the floor with Jeb at several million kilometers per second should count as the land speed record.

Jeb went so fast he went back in time and became the object that wiped out the dinosaurs

how did we get from "breaking the land speed record in ksp" to "using a loophole in the laws of physics to blast kerbals into the 43rd dimension"?

For anyone wondering, the missiles on "tonk 3" at the start were from a mod called bdarmory. An absolutely fantastic mod for obvious reasons.

The real reason Artemis was delayed was to clear the corpses of kerbals littering the runway from this

12:47 it's very funny that in the pursuit of breaking a speed record, you accidentally created the largest caliber of shotgun shell known to man

If you theoretically applied downforce via thrusters and two thrusters on the side to keep it straight you could technically achieve a much higher speed so the craft at 12:34 was stable since the thrusters in the middle were acting like a gyro therefore it did not spin out,some crafts use this technique in space such as nasas moon exploration vehicle and their EVA SAFER suits,sorry for the long comment

Nothing like casually sending Jeb at 6.26x the speed of light out of the solar system forever

I can’t be the only one who feels bad for these little kerbals, watching them react in pure horror as they hurdle towards the ground

That some surious Orc Enginiering if you ask me, also that last kerbal Flying at godspeed next to a sun made my day xD

I'm genuinely impressed the game rendered him going at glitch speeds instead of sending him to the infinity realm

the shot of jeb going past the sun was amazing

The clips of Kerbals getting launched sky high facing imminent death combined with the meme screaming noises is one of the highest forms of comedy as far as I'm concerned.

jeb's portrait view while flying through the air was phenomenal

There’s something I love about the fact that you essentially made the yeagh v2 stable enough it was able to fly in a stable enough way that it likely would have gotten to space. 🤣

It’s the delayed explosion sounds and lag before chaos that sends me 😂

I love how it just went white and then he was in space. You literally sent Jeb to heaven.

Mart, thank you for this, you are genuinely the ESvidr who makes me laugh the hardest most consistently. Keep up the amazing work (but don't burn out like so many of your poor, poor kerbals)!

I like how this turned from a challenge to get the fastest speed record on land to torturing Jeb

Congrats! Alright guys, now the goals to break the new L.S. Record! you just have to clock speed a little over 6.3x the speed of light :D

That final Jeb launch has me laughing so hard my sides hurt. LMAO

Anyone else notice jeb turned pitch black at the end, implying that the sheer force of the engines charred him instintaniously.

The life of Jeb must be quite chaotic. One minute he's trying to break the landspeed record, the next he's leaving the solar system.

Pro tip: If you're looking for stability, you need rudder fins in the back behind the vehicle's center of mass. This makes it fly across the ground like a dart falling through the air, and should negate most chances of the craft spinning out

The fact that he casually yeets kerbals using a mass drive vaporizing them as they hit the air at 27348mps is very telling

I like how you removed vertical stabilized from the very first craft and didn't put any of reasonable size until 14:30

This man sent Jen out to space going 6.2x the speed of light. Pretty much so fast that Jeb would only see black…

13:51 This is called a kill sphere Also Stratzenblitz Beaten you With 1 Trillion Meters Per Second

Not only did he break the land speed record, he technically time travelled.

I have never seen this content before but this sponsorship segment is *the* best sponsorship segment I have *EVER* seen. This is true content.

seeing jeb flying faster than the speed of light is beutiful

would've liked to see the aircraft with which he reached 837m/s on the northpole because it looked like it could've gone faster if the runway didn't end, especially because it would've been a legit record then

I like how it just went from tiny little rocket to breaking time and space itself and going to the multivirse

The way you said "SPEED!!!!" is such a mood, absolutely fantastic

13:40 the one thing you do not want to hear while in a vehicle moving faster than the speed of sound is “it’s a little unstable”

I remember doing this challenge in Simple Planes. Best time I've ever had

considering light speed is 300k m/s, jeb's record is impressive indeed

Jeb is traveling at 6 times the speed of light. He has not only achieved the land speed record but he has managed; because speed of C is 299 792 458 m/s and he was exceeding 1 800 000 000 m/s; to actually break the light speed barrier and the relativity barrier. Jeb is now a time traveler.

I haven't laughed this hysterically in a very long time. Thank you.

Holy shit, at 17:23 when you launched Jeb he went from 14.6m/s in one frame to 337,712m/s in the next. That's ~338 km/s, or ~755,000 mph, but even more impressively that's a change in speed of 337,697 m/s in 1/24th of a second (~0.042 seconds), resulting in a rate of acceleration north of 800,000g.

The scariest part is that even at that speed it would take Jeb more than a year to reach the nearest solar system, it really gives a prospective on how big Is the universe

The ending was a pure masterpiece ♥️

That last kerman got launched so fast His atoms are currently at the nearest star system

I use yeag as a replacement for yes commonly just because of this video it was so impressive so amazing that he went several times the speed of light is amazing so inspirational

Can you imagine the face of aliens when they look through their super-charged telescope and see Jebediah flying straight at them at a speed of 18 billion meters per second?

I was listening to this while trying to nap and I love how it eventually just devolved into *Frog noises *Countdown, noise, laughter *And a bunch of "Oh My God"'s

That shot of Jeb passing across the sun was priceless.

Wow, how amazingly realistic this video game is ! That little Kerman here got sent to *~6.26 times light-speed* !!!

Martian is the only person that makes watching his advertisements fun to watch

0:43 correction, because *we* will have little to no regard for our pilot’s lives.

You are hilarious, as always and very talented.

"Urming Kerman... *Prepare to meet your maker*" Gets me every time

I love how not once is the term "downforce" ever mentioned in the video. Also how did we go from "land vehicle with wheels and boosters" to "just shove an immortal Kerbal in front of an exhaust."

He went so fast that even God couldn't keep his eyes on jeb

I feel like the Land Speed Record should’ve been much easier, since as soon as you launched the vehicle the sudden change in velocity instantly liquified your Kerbals and they served to lower the amount of friction between your vehicle and the ground.

I like that he eventually gives up trying to get the land speed record and just ends up launching kerbals at drastic speeds

Jeb went almost exactly 6x the speed of light

The fact you managed to get ole jebby boi to 6.2 times the speed of light is ... incredible and terrifying

“Commander Z’Gllypbe, we’re detecting something approaching our ship rapidly!” “Is it an asteroid?” “No, sir… it’s a-“ The ship is promptly torn to pieces by a flying Jeb moving at Mach 97

Id recommend checking out the stock landspeed record series on Stratzenblitz75's channel, and he also did a full stock light speed mass driver too.

I love how a vertical stabilizer never occurred to him

I like to think that the kerbals that dissapeared moved so fast it looks like they dissapeared when in reality they just flew out of the galaxy and to the edge of the universe

At that last launch Jeb was moving faster than the speed of light.

Jeb not only holds the universal record for fastest organism but also the record for highest g's sustained

"And as a Kerbal was sent out into the cosmos, all he could think about was that he, and he alone, broke the land speed record."

Some say jeb is still floating through space to this day.

The reason you were having so may stability videos is because of the relative positions of your centers of mass and lift. It is best (for land vehicles only) to have the center of lift as far behind your center of mass as possible so that the the craft naturally self aligns itself to point forwards. Keep in mind, the center of lift takes into account the horizontal wings of a craft which do not help with this self alignment system. It is best to firstly put a vertical stabilizer in the very back of the craft and to rotate the craft in the spaceplane hangar to see the position of the center of lift relative to the center of mass at given angles from prograde (note that prograde is in the direction of the hangar doors). You should take into consideration that if even a slight rotation results in the shift of the center of lift to be in front of the center of mass, you have to many vertical stabilizers on the front of your craft and should either move them further back or remove them entirely. On the other hand, for when you were having the infamous "bouncy wheel syndrome," the best solution is to either use larger landing gear and/or rover wheels or alternatively to increase the spring strength and decrease the dampener strength for the landing gear you already have. If the problem persists, it is likely that the landing gear are to far separated from the rest of the craft and should be moved closer in proximity to the parent part. Alternatively, though not recommended, you can also turn on rigid attachment but doing so can cause some other issues. This may allow you to achieve a higher speed without having to resort to the railgun method since craft stability seemed to be the most prominent issue. I hope this my help for any future builds!

I love how he beat landspeed record (338 m/s aka. 1220 km/h) by the time of yeag v3 but still kept going

Love how 2 of the most important components you could possibly removed were about the first you removed and then never replaced xD You need downward force - inverted plane wing, one or more central or 1-2 each side - and a rudder mate. :p

legends say, jeb is still is drifting in space to this day

Martin seems like he’s really smart but he needs like a ritual to summon it

I love green frog man’s demon belches of the word “SPEEEEED”

I mean it did deliver some incredible results, it proved that you can take off without vertical boosters or any for of propulsion at all
