Faked or typo? I do believe the space shuttle travels about 18 times the speed of sound, so it could have just been a mistake.

No it's real, they screwed up. I remember this vividly, laughing my ass off when I saw it on TV.

For real man.

A buddy of mine worked at NASA...he tells me the speed of light can be broken and they do it everyday. The general public just isn't aware of the incredible research going on because it can't be leaked.

im pretty sure it would take less than seconds to get from ny to la at the speed of light. did you take a big detoir or what?

if your top speed is the speed of light, the time from NY to LA is entirely determined by your maximum acceleration.
