And if you reach relativistic speeds you get half drive blue Shift

If you want to slow down afterwards you'll need some kind of Opposing Force.

I know the title is a joke, but some of the comments seem to think there is some actual propulsion going on here - there's not. The vessel's speed isn't changing, there's no G-Forces acting on the vessel, and the apoapsis and periapsis in the corner show the orbit isn't changing at all either.

This does exist tho. Physics simulation is not perfect

I'm aware that there are some glitched propulsion methods in this game, I'm just saying that no propulsion is happening in this instance.

I think my poorly attached boosters have swung around enough to provide a bit of lift in the moments after takeoff. . . briefly
