At 65,589 feet, Apt beat all previous records speed records, reaching Mach 3 (2,094 miles per hour). He was the fastest flying man alive and would hold the record until 1961, when the X-15 reached ...
The powerful forces can be released by any number of space objects, but mighty though they are, detection can be difficult. A strike may occur with no advance warning. On the upside, complete ...
