Ah, the lovely 19 km/sec breezes of Kerbin. :-P If the wind were indeed moving at several times orbital velocity, shouldn't it be escaping Kerbin with you, rather than you leaving it behind? Seems to me like if they're going to let you make the wind speed exceed orbital velocity, they should consider where all that air is going to be going... (To be honest, near the end there I was hoping you would set the wind velocity to 30 km/s or something even greater, or at least let us keep watching until the cockpit fell back into the atmosphere again and finally got blown onto an escape trajectory...)
