At 10 Gs, yes, but only if they were sitting up. In the Russion capsules they're reclining, so the blood doesn't rush from one's head. 10 Gs while reclining is probably similar to 2 Gs sitting up, or 1.5 Gs standing up. I've taken 3 Gs for more than a minute standing up, and 6 Gs for more than a minute sitting down, both without a G-suit.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.
