minus-squareJarix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agohttps://lemmy.world/comment/15180729 Regrub just said can we make it go faster, so i guess it would need to be increased much much more than 17,000 kph, which seems slow for galactic/cosmic speeds. Wonder how much more energy it would need. Someone get Randal Monroe on this stat! Lol
minus-squarespooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoI think you’d need to nearly double the velocity for it to be remotely close. I think I saw something like 30-40k km/h before it’s at that level
