NASA to Attempt Mach 10 Flight Next Week
Dirak writes "NASA intends to break its own aircraft-speed record for the second time this year by flying X43a scramjet ten times faster than sound. On November 15 the X-43A supersonic-combustion ramjet - or scramjet - will again take to the skies aiming for Mach 10."
NASA can get nowhere REALLY fast
I would really like to see something that gets us going faster in Space. We can get up there just fine if the ship doesn't go. And we can get down jsut fine (again if the ship stays together), but we need to explore the universe! We need Warp! Dammit Jim, I want to go to Aplha Centauri DisneyLand!
If I wrote something witty, you would say I stole it from somewhere.
You can't break Mach 10, just like you can't break warp 10! If you were traveling at Warp 10, you'd occupy all points in space at once. At Mach 10, would you occupy all the space in my iPod?
How the heck am I a troll?(see earlier post) We want all this expansion, we are destroying the earth, and no one seems to give a damn about it. I think that we should be doing better things than creating "technology that someday will build faster missles" That is just what we need, a quicker way to kill some people.. wOoT.
F u, F u, F u, your cool, F u, I'm out.
