Makes sense, the ISS is moving at ~Mach 25 relative to a fixed point on the ground. Not much survives at those speeds, in an atmosphere, without careful engine

Makes sense, the ISS is moving at ~Mach 25 relative to a fixed point on the ground.
Not much survives at those speeds, in an atmosphere, without careful engineering.
- kylehotchkiss 1y agoIs Mach the correct way to describe the speed of something traveling in (near) vacuum? Easier to say orbital velocity ~17,500mph or so.
- thebruce87m 1y ago> Mach 25 The SR-71 story should be updated with an ATC speed request from the ISS.
