- ceejayoz 8y agoThey're small, light weight, and about 80% fuel. Without a squishy human on board, rockets can accelerate very quickly.
- Armisael16 8y agoThey really aren’t. They can only get up to ~750 m/s. You want fast, take a look at the Sprint missiles. The damn things had 100g of acceleration and could hit 3400 m/s.
