Fastest land speed record in Kerbal Space Program (version 1.3)

"Stratzenblitz75's" eye-watering speed of 3,469 m/s, achieved on 10 August 2017, is the fastest ever recorded on vehicle simulator Kerbal Space Program. His speed was so fast that he had to lower the game's graphical settings so the terrain textures could keep up with him. In fact, 3,469 m/s exceeds the escape velocity of the planet the stunt was achieved on, yet he managed to keep his vehicle on the surface. The attempt was verified by the game's developers.
