I need your help with to check the physics for this one: a space station in deep space is towed by an FTL capable ship. The ship goes in FTL travel, detaches from the space station which is left moving under its own inertia. A being is standing on the surface of the space station when it enters FTL.

In short, space station surfing at faster-than-light speeds.

So, the physics, amidoinitright?
