Hypersonic speeds

[LitteXMan808]

So I just made a rocket that goes over 70,000 m/s and it’s over 60 trillion Meters, it carried as satellite with science things for fun and I’m wondering if you have gone even faster also I know there are Meters Megameters however I’ve passed into the realm of G in measurement what does it mean?

I assume you mean the G on the altimeter.  That's Gigameters, or millions of kilometers.  You are probably in solar orbit.

As for speed: Speed is relative.  70 km/s relative to the fixed stars is doable (sans Kraken) by getting quite a high aphelion and burning retrograde there until you have a suitably low perihelion.  Be sure your craft is heat-resistant!

But, even sitting on the launch pad, you are probably going 70 km/s relative to something out there.

What do you wish me to understand by this?

The Kraken may bring you to extreme speeds. However, I decline any responsability for whatever happens then.

They're using sandbox mode and also using cheats.

That heat don’t exist now

Okay
