Yeah, can't have that pesky air resistance slow you down. In...space.

Edit: Okay, now I'm actually super curious at what speed this would come into effect. I know space isn't 100% vaccuum, so there is some point where this would become a necessary factor to consider. However, it must be at truly insane speeds, no?

Space is full of particles, and if you want to travel relativistic speeds, they're a problem.
