Mainly the fact the the Russians had already put a satellite and a man in space and were planning a mission to the moon. The Americans wanted to beat Russia to it.
No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.
When you are near the event horizon, you would be close to the speed of light - from your own point of view. From the point of view of an outside observer, you would move slower and slower, and never quite reach the event horizon. This has to do with the queer distortion of space and time caused by the black hole.
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
the safest top speed in space is about 20,000 mph
Time and space are related by the speed of light space r=ct where t is time and c is the speed of light.
The maximum speed the space shuttle can attain is about 30,000 K MPH in atmosphere.
Running a computer analysis requires downloading a free program such as System Analyzer. This program will look for increasing speed, disk space, system security, and many more things to get your computer in good running condition.
Space is nothing, it is the lack of matter, it doesn't have a speed, it doesn't have a temperature, it does have a smell or a taste... it is nothing, it's empty space.
The speed of light in any material medium is less than it is in empty space.
Depends on your speed. The space shuttle can be in space in about 8 minutes.
The speed of light in a vacuum (space) is about 3x10^8 m/s. The most accurate measurement is:
The speed of the dives are not measured as part of the event.
