The Grey Pegasus
Pony stuff author since 2012. Writes supposedly good stuff. Still haven't made a break. Still persistent. Probably highly unlucky. Or hated by the universe. Either determined or insane. Or both.

Heh.
Not bad at all. A good spiritual sequel indeed.

Hooray! Immersion worked!
Hehe. Of course. Rainbow flies up to 30K feet and tells Twilight it's awesome.
Twilight tries, and goes up to 42K ... meters. And then shatters probably every flight record ever. And most of a hill somewhere.
This is why we stick to one scale of measurements, people.

I like to think that Twilight was just thinking, "I can go higher! It's got to be better even higher up! And I can do it because magic!"
I also like to think that Rainbow's mind runs in imperial. Or rather, Twilight's mind runs in metric. Established since the previous story.
Also, as I've decided to just write a bunch of flying stories, I have to answer, Twilight's probably only shattered official records. Unless they make a new category for free-falling past the sound barrier, because really, how fair is that? And the truth is, unknown to her and basically anyone else, she really sits at second place to Celestia.
5588319 Luna's gone orbital, so there's that. :)

Shh.... Just wait for that one...

I'd imagine it's a pegasus thing. Cloudsdale probably uses Imperial, while the rest of Equestria switched to SI units centuries ago.
...actually, this has probably led to hilarity in the past, like a town requesting 10 millimeters of snow and getting 10 inches. Damn Pegasi and their archaic units of measurement.

Ok, this must become a thing.
I shall stuff it away for a, ehrm, rainy day.
Did Scott Manley check the maths on this story?

It's not like she went into orbit first.
5589209 Well, maybe Twi had Ferram Aerospace installed, and Scott's pretty good at that, so...
And you should always have Scott Manley check your maths whenever you do a maneuver, in atmosphere or no.
Lawlz.

The terminal velocity equation wouldn't work without Ferram. Unless they changed the surface area thing in Beta (I haven't played since .24).
Odd note, I played without Ferram. But billions of other things installed.
Twi trolling Dashie!
And you should've had a paragraph in that about how she had to dig herself out of the crater!
So you thought 137,795 Feet doesn't sound story-like enough? Wrong! An why doesn't the ozone poison her? Does Celestia's sun come radiation-free?

Also:
You're gonna love the next sequel.
5596252 But... when oxygen decompose the diatomic gas would split into solo molecules that are highly reactive and wouldn't stay like that for long! The existence of such would drive Twilight too mad to allow her falling. But, of course, magic!
I wonder if it will be measured in light seconds.
That was pretty awesome, and I love the suggestions in the comments that we may get more stories along these lines with Celestia and Luna.
That imperial/metric pegasus weather idea sounds entertaining too.
This is easily one of my few favorites. It's short and sweet, but I'm a science-y dreamer and this is exactly what I love. So glad there are two of these!
Loved the ending. Talk about an in your face type of moment to Dash.
