Not with a constant thrust. If an object were to be shot out of, say, a cannon to escape earth's gravity (not to eventually fall back), THEN it would need an initial burst sending it to about 11 km/s.

True. But at what altitude does the SR-71 jet-engine cease to function? From that point onwards it would still need to travelling very, very quickly and I should think the energy requirement would still be significant.

The SR71 will never be an orbital craft like our space shuttle and who knows what else may be hidden in the Nevada desert.

Russian Quote:"and your point is?"

Well Russian, you say this as if there is something wrong with love of Country and celebration of remarkable achievement.

Nuke is do just that while saying nary a bad thing about any country/person.

Your comment has a negative connotation(don't come back with some BS about how it doesn't.. save that for the gullible)... why not keep it to yourself since Nuke is bashing no-one?

Or maybe start a thread of some of the many great things Russian science has created?

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I'd like to see that scramjet thingy in action... "scooping" up the extremely sparse air at extreme altitudes and compressing it.

Bahahahah!!! Russian you over-sensitive cry baby! I knew you couldn't respond in a contructive or mature way. Is it late where you are? I bet you've already cried yourself to sleep!

Bahahahahahaha!

The first picture is of the YF-12A, a prototype interceptor. Down here at the San Diego Aerospace Museum, they have a YF-12A up on stands at the front enterance. The thing that surprised me the most when I first saw the YF-12A, was it's size. I expected it to be a lot larger than it was, it didn't look any longer than a normal city bus.

Ack-Ack
