While in EVA, if we keep applying thrust from our pack, obviously not indefinitely, will we be able to increase our velocity over time, or will there be an enforced limit like ships?asked by Corporal Bell

This is about the 10 meters per second. It's the same.

It's probably worth mentioning though that we do have that sense of vague Newtonian motion, in the sense that if I thrust a little bit forward and then stop thrusting, I'll just continue going off forever at that speed unless I introduce another thrust impulse. So it's like that to some degree, and it gives you that sense of, oh, if I thrust, I keep going. And then if I look around, I see I'm going in that direction still. So you get the sense of it. You just can't get yourself up to, eventually, light speed, right, and you don't want to go that far.
