It'd be interesting to see a video comparing a top fuel dragster to the space shuttle.
Unfortunately all the videos of a space shuttle launch I had ever seen were slow mo.
My mind was not wired for how short what I was about to see would be.
Seeing it in person, even if 10 miles away, wow.
It did not waste time getting to several hundred miles per hour, then it hit a cloud layer and went out of view.
The shuttle limits it acceleration for pilot and passenger comfort.
It'd be capable of more at full tilt.
Just amazing.
