@Mott-The-Hoople saidLOL, show me a proof.
“So when the rocket comes in with about "Mach 13" a freshly start rocket can be much faster.”
LOL, no the speed is not at startup, it is at the end.
You could start at wikipedia if you want to. I would accept any textbook citation.

@vivify saidI used to think you were stupid, now I'm sure of it.
If an ICMB is launched, wouldn't the country launching it have to first contact the countries the missile flies over? Otherwise, the countries in between the actual target would just shoot it down, right?
You do know that ICBM's travel IN SPACE, right?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidSo the maximum Apogee of a Minuteman III (which is a current US ICBM) is 1100 km above ground, this is far beyond the karman line which is a frequently used marker for the begin of "space".

And there are many natins capapble of starting rockets reaching that height.

@Ponderable saidWhat's your point? You just repeated what I said in a different way.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidNope, didn't know that. Which is why I'm asking.

Trying to gain knowledge is never a bad thing. You'd be more respected if you did the same.

Wrong. The velocity is max at burn termination.
And yes people do have theri own definitions sometimes. (And then we can see where some misunderstandings come from).
Can you name one example for an ICBM that circled the world more than once? The technical defintion of "ballistic" is less than 1. cosmic speed.
You are relying on “available data”
Of course capabilities are not going to be advertised.

@vivify saidIf you were under 12, I could see it, but seriously, you didn't know that ICBM's approach orbital velocity and hit over 700 miles altitude? You thought they flew over countries inside their airspace and needed permission?

How old are you?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidYou realize you support Trump, who thinks windmills cause cancer, right? This man, at 70+ years of age thought you could nuke a hurricane.

As someone who values knowledge so much, I expect posts from you blasting Trump as a moron. Right?
@Ponderable saidYes. For reference, the Kármán line is 100 km up. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) starts around 160–2,000 km above Earth's surface. The ISS orbits at roughly 400 km, while geostationary satellites sit at 35,786 km.
So the maximum Apogee of a Minuteman III (which is a current US ICBM) is 1100 km above ground, this is far beyond the karman line which is a frequently used marker for the begin of "space".

@Mott-The-Hoople said"Advertised" or not, these numbers are well-known.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidLed by the nose down the primrose path. Idiot.
"The US is not nearly as 'special' as you seem to think it is."
Fukin brainwashed traitor!
@Mott-The-Hoople saidGod, I'm tired of the stupid people thinking they know everything.
willing to bet your life on it?
you should sit this one out
@Mott-The-Hoople saidYou have nothing to teach Ponderable, except maybe how horrible Americans can be.
I’m tired of stupid people not knowing anything. Commenting anyway, then reducing the conversation to insults.
Pay attention, you might learn something like ponderable did today 😉
