RE: The SR71 Blackbird vs The Space Shuttle

in #science10 months ago

After reading NASA's website (see my previous post) I watched this video again. We've got a huge mistake at 2:22 and 2:35. At 2:22, the video states that the shuttle and solid rockets together reach mach 22. At 2:35, the video shows the point at which the boosters are jettisoned, and states they are going sideways at mach 20. NASA only claims they are going mach 3.91 at this point. Mistakes like this really tarnish our image...this needs to be corrected ASAP. The point of the video would still stand--and we wouldn't be giving the opposition such easy ammo to shoot us down with.
