Craft glitched to super speeds

[lismuk]

So on a perfectly routine visit to Duna, my craft glitched out and broke apart and I thought it was the end, next thing, the command module was going 16.3 quadrillion m/s (faster than light) and the map view had no idea where I was and the sun was nowhere to be seen (obviously).

Now notice the altitude meter has a P, which i'm going to assume is parsecs which could have been more clear with "pc". Now check this out.

What the hell is the E on the alt-meter? it disappeared from my tracking station at this point and I'm pretty sure it bust right out of the universe. The are no mods installed by the way.

P is a petameter (1000 gigameters (1000 megameters (1000 kilometers ))) and E is exameter (1000 Petameters)

next one will be a Z, then a Y, and then it'll break i assume?

I love how two kerbals are flat-out terrified in the first shot, but the middle one is enjoying himself, long after they've calmed down in the second one.

Congratulations on hitting warp speed, though.

Congrats on breaking light. You now proceed to have infinite mass which leads to having infinite energy, breaking the law of thermodynamics. Infinite Energy then allows time travel, you go back in time to view the Rapid Duna Acceleration Event (from a 3rd person view) (the one that made you break light,) then proceed to break more laws of physics, and finally as a result of infinite mass and energy you implode into a black hole so large that the entire universe would exist in the singularity, so anyone inside wouldn't notice and there wouldn't be anyone outside to contradict.

The following is philosophical: But the last part above can also mean the such an event already happened to the real (human) world, and we live in a universe located in the singularity of a black hole, but, we would never notice as the black hole is too large and scattered from our point of view, but since there is no universe outside, there is no external perspective. ...of course I don't believe this has ever happened, but it is interesting to think about it.

Exameters? I'm surprised it even bothers to go that big, that's incredible. Keep going, see if you crash into the edge of the universe.

I too like the faces. The outer two look like they have accepted their fate by the last pic, and are enjoying becoming the furthest out kerbals ever.

Now rescue them!

You probably had a clipped part, lismuk, which caused it to generate a phantom force which spun your craft and ripped it apart. I've docked with craft that triggered the phantom force which ripped both ships to bits and flung the parts into interstellar space but I have NEVER seen any go this fast so congrats on a new Kuinness OuttaDisWorld Record.
