Where is this magical place? I googled "Isle of SmileCoin" but only came up with The West Briton: being a collection of poems, on various subjects...

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

You need to reach at least 11000 m/sec to reach the moon and a little more if you want to go anywhere in the solar system. Was that really so new to you? That's one of the greatest technical problems, because rockets must burn insane amounts of fuel in a very short time to reach at least the minimum velocity.

Sure I did, I just like it when a random news report makes me remember. I also wasn't aware that there was something atmospheric faster than the X-15, it's been a while since I was totally clued up about this stuff.

For example, I also never saw this[^] before, if we are already looking at the X-15.

"in space without gravity it gets a little easier to go faster"
Who writes, and edits, this crap? Gravity? It is wind resistance that is the problem in the atmosphere. Earths gravity extends well out into space!

Everything would be lighter if Newton had not invented gravity.
|
|
|
|
|
Gravity should not be taken lightly.
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|

But that was not Newton who said that. It was Einstein.

You need to come back down to earth.

So why doesn't NASA just launch rockets on still days?
|
|
|
|
|
Or vacuum them before the launch
|
|

Er, do you know what the escape velocity is, the direction of travel, and what the average wind vector on planet earth?
Now compare them.

It needs to be fast as there aren't any toilets on board. Weirdly enough no spaceships in Star Wars seem to have any conveniences..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

And since a parallax second (parsec) is a unit of length (and not of time), it must be defined as the distance to the nearest toilet.
