hypersonic nuclear missiles... nah, it's definitely this open source software for timestamping database changes.
- _yo2v 5y agoBallistic missiles are already hypersonic. Nuclear submarines can already fire without exposing themselves. What's the difference?
- IHLayman 5y agoActually most of them aren’t, but instead they are only supersonic… Making hypersonic missiles (speeds over Mach 5) is a hard problem due to changes in airflow at that speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed
