WOW! Thats like Mac 10 or somthing!

Lets see, 7.7 kilometers per second. Thats about 17,224 miles per hour. Thats about times the speed of sound, Mach 22.

WOW! Thats like Mac 10 or somthing! No, I think they're PC-based. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Its PC based? If so they should just use a mach radar gun and ummm radar the speed. Just to see how fast it can go. That would be cool!

PC-based? What do you mean by that?

He means (I think) that ok, "Hey your reaching 95%up in the air! Prepare to come down!" instead of "Hey your reaching speeds of mach 20! Shut down your engines to prepare to comd down!"

Isn't Mach 10 a new type of razor?

"WOW! Thats like Mac 10 or somthing! " it's actually quote useless to speak of Mach numbers in space, because the speed of sound is zero there. Mach number is the velocity divided by the speed of sound. The speed of sound changes with air density, so for one certain velocity, the Mach number changes for instance with altitude.

Arobie: Actually, the PC-based was a play on words. Igor said: WOW! Thats like Mac 10 or somthing! Instead of Mach 10. I'd also argue that, while Mach ratings are moot in space, they're still useful in conveying the sheer speed to the laymen. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> --------------------SaiphMOD@gmail.com -------------------"This is my Timey Wimey Detector. Goes "bing" when there's stuff. It also fries eggs at 30 paces, wether you want it to or not actually.
