"....and hopefully it will achieve Mach 7...the speed of sound."

Can't they get somebody knowledgeable to interject?

I heard the anchor say "mach 7...which would be 7 times the speed of sound."


Now what you heard might have been at a different time than what I heard, too.

I can tell you that when you are on the air on TV you have a producer talking to you in your ear while you are trying to talk to the camera.

That helps you to make mistakes in speaking.
 
anyone else hear the reporter say they'll take the x-43a up to "95 hundred thousand feet?"

didn't know if i was just imagining that. :eek:

living with a hangover here, so anything's possible
 
And now the woman on Fox just mentioned how the B-52 was "escorting" the X-43.

I would have never guessed you got your name from Steve Ducey
 
From Aol news....

"The scramjet took over, using up about two pounds of gaseous hydrogen fuel before gliding. Applause rang out in the control center at Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards."

Two pounds of fuel?? must be a typo, eh?
