Nice! But aren't the cockpits supposed to be aimed at the center (the bearing)?

[Majorjim!]

Funny that the G meter does not seem to register lateral centrifugal g-force..

 

 The cockpits should be tilted so the Kerbals heads point inward. Tis a fun looking contraption though! I want to see what happens if you EVA at full speed!

I don't think anything incredibly bad would happen at full speed, just before breakoff. After all, crash speed for those cockpits has to be less than their breaking speed...

I anticipated that bearing to eventually break. Its sad that KSP bearings can work so smoothly though the game can sometimes have trouble keeping up  still great video

Great fun :).

So how did you make the stock bearing?  I couldn't really tell from the video.

It wasn't the bearing that broke. There was too much force on the cockpits and they broke apart. The bearing itself was perfectly sound. 

And yeah. To be realistic the cockpits should be facing the center. It's how I had it originally but the view from inside got blocked and they couldn't enter or exit it.
