if i'm not mistaken, those thing can go like Mach15-20 or something like that.

I heard them mention something like 17,500 mph to break thru... the atmosphere?? (i was getting my hair cut so didnt hear it all)

I think once they leave the Earth's atmosphere it travels around 23,000 mph with the jets on.

Sure you can strap jets to your car, just ask Art Arfons or Les Shockley how to do it :D

you need to go 25,000 MPH to break Earth's gravity. that works out to about 7 miles a second :shock:

Problem is....thoes arent "jets" that are strapped to the side of the Space Shuttle. They are rockets. Kinda hard to use a jet engine in the vaccum of SPACE.
