This whole space shuttle launch gets me wondering...
 

what that thing would run in a 1/4 mile, and if I can strap jets to my car :twisted: :lol:

Re: This whole space shuttle launch gets me wondering...
 

strait up its pretty damn slow from what ive seen...they just weigh too damn much...once it gets going theres not much of anythign faster though :)

so uh, that HPTuners..... can you tune for rocket fuel??? :lol:

haha I might need some help from the guys at NASA but im sure anything is possible lol

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:

I've reached those speeds too many times..... all in my neon..... 8)

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.
