Its fairly accurate as far as I can tell. Your right about the fact that It wouldnt work in real life due to the dynamic pressure your exerting on your rocket, using your method you get to about 150 kPa, Falcon 9 usually maxes out around 35 kPa so it would explode. Also it is a fairly fuel inneficent way of getting into orbit, but yes it is possible
