What happened
Rocket launches are some of the most violent travel methods man has ever created. They generate millions of pounds of thrust and convert that into intense g-forces.
Humans must undergo serious training to withstand those experiences, but machines have to do so as well, but by design rather than training. Now, researchers in Switzerland have come up with an ingenious way to make sure that is much less likely to happen.
