You're in a rocket on top of thousands of tons of explosives, everything runs automatically, there's terrifying noise all around and you don't control anything.

Blacking out in dissociative euphoria still sounds like a feature, not a bug to me.

chuckle maybe for the jaded frequent flyer, but if I go up in a rocket I wanna experience everything, even a blow up if it happens.
Why would there be noise and explosives?

Personally I'd prefer to not be put in a coma in such an environment.

Sounds like you don't like a good time :-P
I had a similar experience recently. Massive turbulence on a commercial flight low over the continental divide flying into Denver.

I personally witnessed 3 people vomiting, but I was all smiles the whole time. I am in small planes a lot, so kind of enjoy the bumps when it’s someone else’s job to fly now.
