The distance is 3,900 miles to the destination.

The missile took 30 minutes to reach the destination.

How fast was the missile flying?

3,900 miles/ .5 hours = 7,800 MPH

Can someone tell me where I am wrong. Or where the article is wrong. I am confused because I used to be good at math.

Maybe the point to point (sea level A to B) is 3900.

You punch a missile upward at launch and cause an arced flight path resulting in a longer distance.

I’m just taking a stab at an answer here.

So I’ll make a PING.

OM- You expert help here please? (unless you have to kill us if you answer)

Thanks
