I think you might be wrong in this statement. Check out rocket sled runs in New Mexico during the late 50s and early 60s. Just an item of interest the land speed record set by one of the later rocket sleds is over 6000 per hour--unmanned of course. The rocket sled completed the 3.61 miles in only 6.2 seconds.
I will try to find the link on the manned run that pulled nearly 40Gs and lived. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...v14/ai_8339225
