what missile are you talking about?

ICBMs go far faster than mach 5

missles in general no outerspace fantasy stuff

ICBMs go mach 5

some HGVs go mach ~10 iirc

Peak speed for an ICBM is in the ballpark of 6-7km/s (any faster and the payload would go orbital), and it takes about 10 minutes to accelerate to that speed. New York to Moscow is 7500km

fastest ASMs are about mach 5

nasa goes 17500 mph

icbm not even close

nasa goes ~8km/s for orbit

so it is close

no nasa goes 17500 miles per hour

convert that to km/s

28,000 km per hour

not kilometers per hour

kilometers per second

are u saying icbms go faster

icbms go 6-7km/s as you said

orbital velocities are about 8km/s

or they would go orbital lol thats funny

7 < 8

17500 mph is 7.8232 km/s

ok

ICBMs go 6-7 km/s which is slower if you are capable of doing arithmetic

so the icbms dont go as fast on purpose or it would go orbital

yes i understand what they tell us

they go as fast as they need to to fall on their targets

no point making them bigger than necessary

so u think nasa is all legit never lied to us ? they can really put humans in a rocket and go 17,500 mph ?

yes

@jeremy why is that so difficult

you see rockets take off they obviously work

i see them take off then they come back down to earth before they get too high

they always come back down to earth before they get too high

>always

are you 5 or something?

lol no

have you ever seen a non-spacex launch?

yes the rocket curves back down to earth drastically

no it doesn't
