If I’m reading this correctly that is 22,000 pounds of thrust for over 83 minutes of burn time. That’s incredible.

Confused...

What is max speed?

Is 5,000 seconds how long it takes to reach max speed?

How long does it take to slow down to orbital speed?

What happens when an Earth spacecraft, traveling many times faster than usual speed, collides with micro meteorites?

Max Speed unknown, when fuel runs out.

5000 seconds burn time = 83 minutes

Slow down = same as speed up

Faster than ‘usual’? Bigger holes than ‘usual’............
