Since the definition of hyper is exactly the same as super, could you please tell me the difference between supersonic and hypersonic?

And all this time, I thought you played piano in a bordello. ;)

Book looks like it belongs in my library, next to all the other USAF books an NCO collects over the years.

You’re the author and they didn’t tell you there was going to be a new edition? Do you at least get royalties?

Is that the Aurora or whatever it was called, that story in the late 80s/early 90s? I can recall stuff like ‘it had a contrail like donuts with a string through the holes’ and it made a pulsing ripping noise or something.

I like to think an Aurora or two is flying around out there somewhere. The NASP was ambitious as a mach 25 vehicle (low earth orbit) and great strides were made to achieve that end. There were six enabling technologies to make that happen and I know at least three had been completed by 1997. I slipped up in a meeting once and called it Hyperspace, boy the laughs I got on that one. Streaking across the sky like a meteor sure seemed like Hyperspace to me. Thay called us Naspeteers, welcome to the club Dr. Schweikart. Thanks for the history and links everyone.

Amazon, as is its habit, is selling something readily available for free through other sources, things in the public domain.

Thank God for gutenberg and the Internet Archive, where more than a lifetime could be spent reading free and excellent books without spending a penny.

Consider that the SR-71 Blackbird created almost 50 years ago was capable of mach 3+. It would stand to reason that newer technologies have been developed in the last 50 years that could easily have pushed the envelop for jet powered aircraft to mach 6 and beyond.

Do you know if they published it in e-book format?

Thanks, Doc!
