BluntM8, thanks for the reply, very interesting once again. 
"In fact, in the 50s some trials were done with a prone pilot in a Meteor to test this to it's fullest."
I never knew tests were done like that in those days about something such as this, learn something new everyday, thanks again for that, I'll look into.

Phil R - It's not that impractical (standing up in a spacecraft)..there were no seats in the Lunar Module.
But on the other hand, immediately you open the throttle in a Starfury (pictured), you're actually lying down, and your heart is trying to pump blood across the axis of high G.
Sci fi geekery complete for the day, I think.
