If you have 10 seconds to make it to your appointment and you are a mile away, can you make it on time? Well, not very easily because humans aren't comfortable at speeds that produce more than 1 G of force. So, getting up to speed and then slowing down will take more than 10 seconds. Can you make an emergency landing on a submarine? A ski jump? Randall Munroe is the guy with all these questions and the time on his hands to figure out the answers. Highly entertaining. Will Wheaton does his best nerd for the narration of this book but I had to take a look at the comics.
