Good question. According to this guy, both Mercury (no mention if Redstone or Atlas) and Gemini broke 7 g:

I would imagine that the Gemini curves looked something like g = t + sin(t) as they had real pogo problems with the Titan rockets. If you find an actual graph, please post it!
The low gravity of Moon would allow the elderly (and other infirm) to remain mobile for many years after they would've become wheelchair-bound on Earth.
In order to enjoy 0.3 g on the Moon, you need to suffer 3+g for a good ten minutes leaving Earth. I'm not sure that the elderly or infirm will stand for that.
The Saturn V's actually were one of the slowest-accelerating human-rated craft to ever launch, and they hit a peak of 40 m/s^2, about 4 g, at MECO 1:

He made a very good point. The truth is that users have no way of knowing which of the tens of certificates included in the browser to leave and which to remove. This Super User question remains without a satisfactory answer, even as browser cert issues pile up almost monthly:

The public is increasingly fearful of the police. And it's THEIR FAULT.
Wasn't that defined as "assault" just a few comments up?
This will be one video I will look forward to seeing!
You just want to see them pull back on the stick, you sicko!
You should clarify: Could you please photograph this Foobar in a way that I can be seen in the photo? Thanks.
The odds of another tourist stealing your camera when you ask them to take a picture is pretty much 0%.
The odds of a someone (especially a poor local) who asks YOU if you would them to take a picture of you
stealing your camerais pretty much 100%.
My country (Israel) is full of tourists, and when I see them taking turns photographing each other I offer to photograph the group. I've never stolen a camera, and others do as I do without stealling cameras. I suppose that your advice might be culture-dependent.
This is the same advice I give my kids. If you get lost, don't
wait for someone to approach you, instead walk up to the first person you see and ask for help. Most people
are normal law abiding citizens, if you play the odds and pick someone randomly then your chances of getting
a criminal are very small. If instead you let them approach you then they are picking you which makes the
odds of them being a criminal considerably higher.
That is good advice for kids, and I will in fact start giving it.
I never implied that systemd is not well tested. I stated that the beta release state is not the state to make major changes in the OS. The feature freeze for this release was one month ago:

You are blaming the wrong person, if something like Gimp decided to interface with systemd, its the Gimp developers.
I'm not placing blame, and you are right that it would be Gimp devs who would be responsible for including such a dependency.
In any case, the assertion that Gimp depends on systemd seems to be rumour anyway. I hope that my GP post gets modded off the page, I have no way to retract it.
In a hurry? Systemd is almost five years old, distributions have now *years* of experience integrating it.
Correct. Distros typically integrate software, especially system-critical software, at the beginning of a release cycle. We are now nearing the _end_ of the Ubuntu 15.04 release cycle. I have no problem with including systemd. I do find it unusual that such a critical system component is being swapped out so late in a release cycle. It should have happened three or four months ago for Ubuntu 15.04, or in two months from now for Ubuntu 15.10.
Gimp doesn't seem to depend on systemd (here is a brief discussion on the topic). It seems to be a rumor, but I don't know where it started.
Thanks. That link doesn't seem to be much of a discussion, but I'll take your word for it being just a rumour as it certainly does not make much sense that an user-facing app would depend upon any specific init system. We know that there are quite a few rumours about systemd floating about.
Actually, the stick is the fact that Gimp and some other notable software now depend on systemd. I have no idea why an image manipulation application needs any particular init daemon, but that is the case.
Interestingly enough, 15.04 is deep into the Beta status and due for release next month. A major change, such as swapping out the init daemon, should be done in Alpha, and far before any Beta release. Certainly not in the month before a release!
Why is everything connected to systemd pushed out in such a hurry? Why isn't systemd getting proper time for review?
Here is the Ubuntu 15.04 release schedule:

The tricky question(and the one that I've been bombarded with vehement and competing answers on, which has left me confused) is whether nuclear isn't cheap; but military procurement slush used to make it look that way; or whether nuclear could have become cheap; but military procurement slush made that unnecessary and potentially even directly inhibited it.
That is pretty much what happened to the space industry, until SpaceX came along. And until SpaceX came along, nobody would have believed that space could be done both more cheaply _and_ more reliably.
Although the third planet from the Sun suffers from crippling gravity and heat, scientists long held that the corrosive atmosphere of oxygen and water vapor is what forbids life as we know it.
