Has anyone got a (on foot) commander into space?

[Agony_Aunt]

I was thinking about the time someone got a SRV into space and into a space station.

Has nobody managed to do the same yet with an on-foot commander?

I guess a station might be too much, as you'd probably run out of energy/air, being limited in what you can carry, but maybe into orbit by piggybacking on a spaceship?

EDIT: Does a SRV have to be on the ground to disembark? Get a SRV into space then disembark?

Being the idiot that I am I have tried and failed to disembark from an SRV at 14km but sadly it wouldn't let me

 

[ZeeWolf]

If it can be done. The hugely entertaining Ghost Giraffe stream has probably tried it..

 

[HansAcker]

I have seen many Cmdrs try it (e.g. hopping into an Anaconda's empty hardpoint bay or trying to use two ships as a ladder) but none of them survived the ascent.

You can temporarily do it if you glitch out of a station by getting the still existing panel bug or by hopping off the bookstand at an Apex. This way I've managed to fall out of surface port concourses and walk on the surface without a helmet on.

Tried and died doing so. Ships kill on foot cmdrs as soon as they lift off, no matter how gentle the lift off is. It's a pity and missed opportunity for some fun shenanigans if you ask me!

I wonder if that is by design or just unintended consequence of how the code works.

Does that happen as soon as the ship moves, or when it takes off? If the latter can you hop on to a hovering ship?

Has anyone done it on a geyser thingy? I got a good few km in my srv, but that was unplanned stupidity!

Love Geyser jumping in my SRV, You can do it on foot but without an altitude reading on the suits HUD we have no idea how high we get

That's a shame - almost wish FD would put one in just for this purpose alone!

I've tried a couple of times by jumping on top of Orcas at tourism ports while they're landed on their pads and waiting.
When those ships begin to ascend, you don't die instantly, you start to go up and for a second it's a thrill. But about 2 seconds later and high up: DEAD.

What happens to the SRV on top of a ship when lifting off?

 

[CmdrKull]

I’ve ridden my Krait Phantom up to its despawn point several times, and even landed alive after several long minutes of falling. I haven’t tried it with another player though. The safe spot seems to be on the glass canopy and a little to the side. After the ship despawns you keep going up a bit, but I never found a planet with low-enough G to reach orbit solo. I recorded a couple videos but… well they’re a bit dull to watch

the trick to landing alive is keeping your decent slow with the jetpack, and using a full burst of it when you get very close.

I once encountered the terminal bug and it resulted in me falling through a planet, the opposite of going into space:

He may have something here... Take SRV up to space then disembark

 

[Greybeard Seawolf]

Everytime we tried taking off with an SRV on top it gets tossed off after a few seconds

 

[Ingram]

Dropped inside a planet before, no reset but kept falling

 

[Frank]

We tried it a couple of months back... and failed. It's definitely more difficult to get SRVs into space. I know it's a while since we did it but we were one of the first groups to get an SRV into a station, so it's not that we don't know what we're doing

My guess is that it's been knobbled by the FDev fun police

I did manage to get myself up into orbit with the help of a friendly geyser.

But then the gravity kicked in
