So like where do you think we could find the zero mass driver to pilot this
thing.. Just imagine the g forces.. This is Mach 8.5 at the 3.. It has to make a
top fuel car be like a Yugo going uphill from a standing start. I would have
loved to have seen it just from the engineering standpoint alone. I would not
discount this feat to quickly.. At 20 million it is a bargain, some day what
comes out of this will save our sorry asses during the next global
'disagreement'..
