Reply to comment by NotAnotherEmpire in Could being submersed in a sealed tank of fluid help humans survive heavy G acceleration in outer space? by cheeze_whiz_shampoo

The Expanse does some fun stuff like this. They use fusion powered engines to accelerate continuously all around the solar system. Most of the time they burn 1g towards their destination, and then flip and decelerate once they're halfway there. Combat and emergencies get considerably more spicy though.

Yeah, good show. They did a lot of things really well and made it feel really authentic.

Yeah, best sci-fi since bsg. It's great that gravity realism is part of the core of the books and series lore.

The writers were also heavily involved in the show running which is a big part of why, even where the show deviates from the writing, it continues to feel like The Expanse.

In the last books, it's no a spoiler to talk about it, they are using immersion and lung filling tech while sedated in a ship designed for sustained high G travel
