SCRAM
NASA is testing its scramjet today. The X-43A hopes to hit Mach 10 today. That's ten times the speed of sound. That's more than 100 times faster than I can run. That's pretty stinkin fast. You could go from New York to LA in 30 minutes. You could go around a Track 12 times in about a second. If people fired bullets at you, you would accelerate past them. Now all it needs is some ground effects, decals, a tin can muffler, and a bigger fin.
