They can take some time to spin-up, correct?.

No, 20 minutes or less or your next ones FREE!

You guys know we have missile silos that can have a nuke anywhere in the world in 20 minutes or less. Don't ask me how I know.

I have an uncle that used to do some sort of tests on these silos or something like that.
He once let quite a few neat things slip at a family reunion.
Now I don't wonder where my tax dollars go.

Now that is impressive, ugh, the speed, not getting one free.

Can the human body handle those speeds.

The Space Shuttle enters the atmosphere at 18,000 MPH
The Saturn 5 rocket that took the astronauts to the moon had a boost of 1,000,000 lbs and traveled at 25,600 mph .....nice top end..

Yes, it can. Going that speed, it would take a long time to change direction. The SR-71 takes half the width of the USA to turn 180 degrees at Mach II.

Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. The scram engine, unlike conventional jet engines, has no moving parts and uses hydrogen as it's fuel source to power itself. Present rockets use liquid fuel and liquid oxygen which is much heavier limiting the speed it can achieve.

The scram engine uses the oxygen in the atmosphere to mix with the hydrogen, creating thrust that can propel the vehicle much faster than conventional planes of today. So far, NASA has revealed that the scram engine is capable of propelling a vehicle at speeds exceeding MACH 15. Other accounts report the engine can easily approach 25,000 MPH, which is the speed needed to escape the Earths atmosphere.

Actually its about 90 mile turning radius at Mach 3 so that would be about 180 miles.


Your statement is true if flying over Forida.
