That's approaching .270 Win velocities.

No it is the stupidity of those reporting, thus making any and all reporting suspect because accuracy is out the window

..........................Yep......And from all of the known elements that exist, there is not a single one nor any combo thereof that can be mixed that would achieve enough energy to propel any man made craft at the speed of light......Most of the solar system and deep space is only to be admired and explored through powerful telescopes. Time, distance and physics says so.

Yes, but only with hundred grain bullets and 4064 powder.

It takes force to turn a wind turbine. When energy is converted from one type to another, there's always a net loss. The loss from drag would lose more power than it would generate.



A 270 can NOT achieve Cx2. A Creedmore, certainly, but not a 270.

88 mph?

May 15, 2020 · Trump said the weapon could reach speeds 17 times faster than current missiles and that it just got the "go-ahead."

That’s Millenium falcon type chit...

It can do the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.....

I googled him
There's a reason we worry about you...

Not the talking heads so much as the editors.

I hope Sulu and Chekov can handle that warp drive.

Nope - powered by a cold fusion engine - fuel cells are a jar of salt water and a couple of lead fishing weights

Does it come in all-wheel drive?

Betcha a properly handloaded 6.5 Creedmoor will do that. Factory ammo is underloaded.

Would that be considered Plaid speed?

Nah - it's solar powered.

You're not taking into account the quantum gains realized by the engagement of the flux capacitor. GD

You guys are messing up the picture in my head: I see it flying around in a circle attatched to the hose like a Junebug on a string.

Still having a problem figgerin’ out how I could see it at twice the speed of light. Need another drinky….

The SR-71 wasn’t fueled until it was ready for takeoff and then only a little fuel was put into it. The skin of a SR-71 is built like fish scale to allow it to expand with the heat it built up at high mach speeds. The skin of the plane was also the skin on the fuel cell. It leaked fuel when it was cool. They put just enough fuel in at the last minute to get it up airborne and do a quick high speed run to heat the aircraft which sealed the tanks. Then they’d drop down and fuel up from an airborne tanker. It’s been claimed that the SR-71 is the pinnacle of human engineering. It was the last aircraft built using purely human brain power with a slide rule. Computers did most of the calculations after the SR-71.
