this lil guy flew just under mach 10 (it got to mach 9.8) at a quick 7,000 mph.

holy jebus thas fast. they said once this technology is applied to airlines you will be able to fly from LAX to Sydney, Austrailia in roughly 1 hour. i think Form said his flight to Austin was about 20hrs or so.

damn i love hearing about technology like this. makes me all excited inside <3 <3

This is great but I see some problems.

1. All in flight movies are over 2 hours for the most part, are you trying to tell me I am only going to be able to watch half of Shrek2

2. How in the hell am I supposed to eat my powdered potatos going 7,000 mph?
It is hard enough as is.

3. You think turbulance is bad now??!!

4. Is it safe if I take my cat as cargo luggage?
