10430 km/h World Speed Record at Holloman Air Force Base

[Ellesmere888]

two....one....zero....fire

Interesting countdown....

[Maximususs]

boom :)

[Tullerion]

When this baby hits 10430km/h, your going to see some serious shit.

[JetMechMA]

Mach 8.6

[TorZAAI]

what is it? a rocket?

[hristijank2]

no one can shoot him from behind....

[DaleJohnPorter]

@hristijank2 Wow do you want a cookie captain fucking obvious.

[cazzucco]

WTF

[davetherave7]

eitinto. WHY???? What a daft suggestion......

[UnderMediKated]

I like bikes and I like cars but this shit is insane.

[awesomesauce7777]

if you look closely at 0:48 you can see the rocket turns into a poptart cat and the fire trail turns into a rainbow for a split second before it goes to another dimension.

[Lordofdragons16]

0:48

"Spok, WARP 1!"

[lemorlenny]

what's happen?!

[suomalainenolio]

is that track 10 km long ? _ 6.2 miles? when i soo this on tv .. .

[CarnivoreXYZ]

@suomalainenolio 4 kilometres

[davetherave7]

Fatboyslinky. Why should I have to use a conversion chart. If you love metric, fine by me, but those who prefer Imperial, should have their original chosen measurement included on packaging, TV programmes etc. No need for you to be abusive about people like me, if anything, you display everything that I detest about people forcing metric upon us. Don't be so critical about others until your own attitude changes.

[davetherave7]

I would prefer to have the speed dictated in MILES PER HOUR, as the speed shown here is means bugger all to me. I do wish that American and especially British governments would ban the forced use of these measurments. If someone told me that an item weighed 40 lbs, I know it's heavy, but if someone said that something weighed... 15 kilo's, I wouldn't know whether to bring a truck or a bag or float it home.

[fatboyslinky]

@davetherave7 Ever heard of a conversion chart or are you just too lazy to convert it.?

[eltinto]

@davetherave7 make your own video then with different title...

[FlashKatIV]

this isnt a rocket

its just Chuck Norris spiting

[xlr8ter4]

I remember watching these tests when I was stationed there, pretty cool for all of 10 seconds!

[fabrix7777]

what a bullshit! Change this title trollop! You know shit of physics.

[MrWastedMango]

bullshit that mach 10.....just bullshit.....maybe mach 1 (1000kph)

[angerfist106]

@MrWastedMango lol ur a retard theyre probably missiles strapped to a flat bed train rig of some form and and missiles go alllllllllloooott faster than planes do

[MrWastedMango]

@angerfist106 yeh i guess your right :) lol

[MrWastedMango]

@angerfist106 but im saying it doesnt look 10000kph

[JARMOPOWER]

@MrWastedMango You only saw the engine start, not the speed at the end of the track...

[debunkathiests]

take off starts in 0:32

[flyingxk]

chuck norris went faster

[uallandme]

ha i could go faster... i just dont want to

[VrOOm1337]

The guy that got blind that was 60 years ago and was from the decceleration from 1000-0kph in approximately 1 second. His eyes were bleeding but he made full recovery. His name John Stapp.

[predatortheme]

@VrOOm1337

he didnt got blind. Col John.P.Stapp's

Eyes Popped out. and they startet bleeding.

but he put them back in. got into the hospital and his visual returned after a while

[VrOOm1337]

@predatortheme He was temporarily blind, like I said he made full recovery. You even said "his visual returned after a while".

[jl135w]

There is a full video from future weapons. They wrap the hole track in a plastic bag basically and fill it with helium or something. I can't remember what it was and as the train goes through it rips the bag and helps keep it cool.

[douglasrmarion]

@300Roxas300 This test was unmanned and since its a rocketsled, they dont stop it, they just crash it into a wall. Hypothetically if it had been manned the occupant would have died instantly considering the thrust at 1000+ G's would have quite literally flattened him/her again their seat. For reference it only takes between 50 and 60 G's to kill a man.

[douglasrmarion]

@rubiksisaseasyaspi no, Chuck norris does not drive, the earth moves around him. This was merely an attempt to recreate the speed of one of his roundhouse kicks. They failed.

[wsbill14224]

If my taxes were used to film this I want my money back!

[BabyBoiQue]

10430 km/h = aprox. 6481 mph. that pretty garsh darn quick

[300Roxas300]

@candr close but it travels at 6,453mph, and the first couple of times this was tested the people who had riden in it became temporaraly blind

[rockhound694u]

@300Roxas300 YOU ARE MISINFORMED, THEY DID NOT GO BLIND, THEY GOT A BAD CASE OF DEATH AND IT WAS NOT TEMPORARY.

[StealthXD1]

@rockhound694u nobody could survive that whoever this 300roxas is he must be retarded

[rubiksisaseasyaspi]

that's what chuck norris drives

[burningsponge]

isnt that like 6,000mph?

[hoplite46]

This is all very over hyped. I,d like to see the readouts cosI dont believe anything has travelled at 10,000 Kmh

[BigG01234]

@hoplite46 it's a rocket.........

[hoplite46]

@BigG01234 yes not a bullet!!! Faster than a speeding bullet?? I dont think so!!!!

[BigG01234]

@hoplite46 bullets are no were near faster than rockets bro.

[kansterstrak]

Why couldn't they launch it on the day :(? It would have been a much cooler vid then.

[Armigo91]

according to the movie, the rocket did create alot of drag exhaust due to the friction.

How did they keep it cool enough without exploding? it seems so bizzare. Never saw or heard about such rocket test, if i did i would probably knew the answer to that.

[Armigo91]

objects at ground lvl travelling faster then mach 2 already create heat drag due to atmospheric friction. Let alone a rocket that travels at mach 7, 30feet above the ground.

Can anybody explain that to me?

[searchoverload8]

kinetic kill weapon test?

[soylentgreenb]

Almost 3 kilometers per second.

[Armigo91]

@soylentgreenb

i took 6 seconds from start to end.

And since 3km/s was top speed the average speed over the course was 1.5km/s

and 6x1,5km = 9-10kilometre track.

i can do math.

i wonder what temperature the rockets hull was, 1500-2000degrees celsius at that speed within the troposphere at ground lvl?

how can a hull, keep itself intact at 3kilometres per second under a density of 1 atmosphere of pressure?

was it launched in a vaccuum?

[soylentgreenb]

@Armigo91 It went through a tube-shaped "tent" full of helium, covering a large part of the later section of the track. Helium much less dense than air, so there's less drag and it doesn't oxidize the metal.

[b3d00]

I liked the part where the thing went and was all like "BAAAAAAAM" that was neat.

[CharlesStudios]

how did they even film this?[

[Pilot853]

That thing was going almost 2 miles a second

[rangeclerk]

...and the pilot was a guy named Marty McFly!...

[hjsrhhg]

It looks like a time mechine and disappear at the end !

[Nakhio]

the pilot must be a second in the future

[stoneeh]

i liked the part where they filmed the video

[MrBangCoi]

If the car's speed is 10430 mph = 16781.87 kph = 4.6616 kps WTF? So this is kph not mph

P.S: Sorry for my bad English. i hope you understand what I say

[candr]

@MrBangCoi Its km/h or kilometers/hour, 10430 km/h = 6481 m/h (miles per hour)

[MrBangCoi]

@candr right

[TheShadows007]

Just if you didn't know... in fact it wasn't a fat wall that stopped that thing, it was Chuck Norris breaking it down with his hand.

[NarleyDude07]

now THATS what the pizza delivery dude should be driving ! - no more late cold pizzas !!

[mistershad0w]

@NarleyDude07 yea then you get your pizza even before you order it

[Tutorial4Yours]

@mistershad0w NO, then it has to be faster then the speed of light, 299 792 458 m / s

[MrBangCoi]

there is a man in this vehicle. xD

[ingareinar007]

@MrBangCoi Yepp! Thank god for airbags X)

[EstebanCRC]

I hope they had air bags!

[ROBLOXobama1337]

0:00-0:35 was just like ........ then, all of the sudden, at 0:36 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

[haschelha]

ehh...

i've found the same video on youtube, BUT they said it was just about 6453mph...

and in this vid its 1 0 4 3 0 mph.

this is stupid...

[gingchewify]

@haschelha IF you read it properly its KM/H not MPH

[RicerEater1978]

@gingchewify XD XD XD

[megga85]

@haschelha

It says km/h, NOT mph!

You are stupid!

[iColorado303]

@haschelha you are one dumb motherfucker

[SketchbookStudios1]

At :49 It Went Back To The Future!!:)

[JayMark2049]

@SketchbookStudios1 Considering you theorically need to go 88mph to go back to the future with the flux capacitor I guess this one could go even before the big bang.

[SEAL52]

@SketchbookStudios1 best comment ever !!

[Betchacantflythis76]

@SketchbookStudios1

technically wouldn't it be ahead to the future

[LilFaerl]

@Betchacantflythis76 Try google "Back To The Future"

[rscosworthfan]

wow

[Killskayaovich]

dont think it went 10430 km/h cuz otherwise it would have dissenter-grated because if air resistance and also it would need a lot more time and distance to reach that speed

[helianimal]

@Killskayaovich

..."dont think it went 10430 km/h it would have dissenter-grated because if air resistance".. -First, I think you mean "Disintegrated". And where did you get the idea an object going 6,000+ mph is going to disintegrate from air/friction? LOL "..it would need a lot more time and distance to reach that speed".. -Again, what genius calculations did you perform to reach this conclusion? LOL How do you know the distance it went? I'd love to know. You're a prodigy!

[shredgnar09]

@Killskayaovic i would love to see how you calculated that. Oh, thats right, you didn't.

[t5239857289578947594]

@Killskayaovich What?You think you know better than the experts doing this test?

[Killskayaovich]

@t5239857289578947594 no, i dont specialize in rapid acceleration mechanics, but being a particle physicist at MIT i thought i could comment on the matter

[datzfast]

bull shit

[BigG01234]

@datzfast it is a rocket.........

[yamaharossi]

i am at holloman... today the rocketsled was in action. standing outside for a cigarette and then...BANGGG you really saw the windows shiver... that was fuckin loud and i mortally scared. heard a alot supersonic booms, mostly from the raptors here but that was definately the loudest i´ve ever heard. it was so peaceful quiet and then...... but it was cool :)

[hawkplaya94]

@yamaharossi thats freakin sweet

[helianimal]

@yamaharossi Wow, close are you? I was outside last month (For a smoke lol in S.Florida) & heard an insanely loud "explosion" sound, then another one even a little louder a slit second later. I knew it had to be a Sonic Boom, 2x SB's actually. I also knew it pretty much had to be the space shuttle landing. Sure enough, turned on the news & it was. I'm 200 miles from Kennedy S.C.. It was still THE loudest thing I've ever experienced. It violently shook every atom in my body! My 1st time, Badass

[makazi1]

what was it? what did they launched? i dunno xD

[TheAfterbanger]

does anony know or have an idea of how far the rocket went?

[Velocity192]

@TheAfterbanger 50,788 feet, about 9.6 miles.

[zorbazig]

too long intro !

[RCSRacing11]

I don't understand why they say 2..1..0..fire.. why not make 0 = fire?

[JetMechMA]

@RCSRacing11 In the digital system, 0 is actually 1. The numbers are 0 thru 9 which equals ten digits, and then they repeat starting with 10. The next series would be 10 thru 19....20 thru29...and so on. I disagree with that system but that's the way they do it. I agree with you....zero should represent nothing, not something.

[RCSRacing11]

This is the new death penalty. No more lethal injection.. just a rocket seat into a wall at 10430 Km/H

[BikerTrashWolf]

@RCSRacing11 Yep, and to finance it, it will be on pay per view!

[2992fuzi]

What is that for a crazy kamikaze thing?

[Kranda123]

@2992fuzi The Roflrocket 3000 Kamikaze Impact

[YTubeMoralAction]

What he says there? 3...2...1...Negro fire! That's just racist!

[fusionstar916]

@YTubeMoralAction lol...

[cegonaxman]

What you actually witness was the first faster then light warp engine(FTL).

[TheFapperman]

@cegonaxman whaaaat?

[ladiestreat27]

which sound was the sonic boom? 

[mikethenascarfan]

well that was fun- whos gonna give us another 500,000$ to slam a rocket into a wall?

[VrOOm1337]

@mikethenascarfan That costs way more then 500k.

[barzoolroolz]

Strap a few seats to that and it would be a hit at Six Flags...

[Koroush51]

How was this made?

[JayMark2049]

Boy. That thing launched fast. Got extremely fast and stopped in an instant. But I'm sure they have the technology to go faster and way faster without any fossile fuel. That is what they are willing to show us. Still amazing but not record.

[kasyapa]

JayMark2049 - what magical non-fossil fuel are you dreaming of? this is the magic thing The Man is always hiding from us.

[Iosxphone]

it would be a cool fire work

[CohenAviran]

what was that ?

[helianimal]

Also the speed capabilities of a rocket have nothing to do with pressure. And "Mach" number has nothing to do with pressure, only temperature.

[helianimal]

@nandoanalog

Start point on earth? I get what you're trying to say but.. The correct more clear way of saying it is simply "Ground Speed", the speed is relative to the ground. Speed = Distance Traveled through space / Time. But.. Because we're not in a vacuum it has to be relative to another object.

[ghostguy2k7]

Chuck Norris' weakness was always parking

[Katiphus]

Awesome

[rduncan999]

rather boring but what ever

[Spencerianism]

This is nothing. Us little humans are traveling around the Earth at a mere 1670 km/hr. Around the sun at a handsome 30 km/sec and around the galaxy at a speedy 250 km/sec.

What was this speed record again?

[lordoftheriffs79]

@Spencerianism

but you need to define every time your speed relative to something. that might be relative to the center of the earth, the sun, the core of the galaxy etc. here it supposedly travels 10430 kmh relative to air, this is around 7-8 mach, which is possible in thin air.

[nandoanalog]

@lordoftheriffs79 It's not relative to air. It's relative to the start point on earth.

[homadonna]

@Spencerianism it says up in the title

[affenarschfeli]

fuck xD

[babaluboo123]

I hope he ejected.....

[dinmagic]

Boom!

[ShadowReubenKee]

I would have LOVED to hear how that swooshing noise would've sounded like!!

I can only imagine.

Science is fucking awesome! If you don't agree, you can fuck off. :D

[ladiestreat27]

@ShadowReubenKee i dont agree so im gonna fuck off......lmfao jp

[ba3cool]

@ShadowReubenKee Are you quoting Dawkins or the Editor of the New Scientist magazine? (watch?v=Tc5JXbyw1C0&playnext=­1&videos=nAKGXtUqZcM)

BTW I AGREE!

[ShadowReubenKee]

@ba3cool I sure did. :P I quoted Dawkins quoting the Editor. :D

[ba3cool]

@ShadowReubenKee I knew that....

The world would be a hell of a lot better, if there were more people like us.

*Fistbump*

[ShadowReubenKee]

@ba3cool Totally! *Fistbump*

[justaman6972]

@ShadowReubenKee  right ,fucking off now!

[CrackShotMcGee]

@ShadowReubenKee I guess i should fuck off then nerd.

[panroman]

@ShadowReubenKee lol holy right!!:):)

[Blowme1000]

I was at the end of the track with a catcher's mitt. I don't hear too well anymore.

[ba3cool]

@Blowme1000 That's cause your dead....

[wyatte123]

wouldent that melt the steel or iron? from the friction

[dhl9319]

@wyatte123

idk it can!

based on enough mass

[al3cbr0u55ard]

i dont think breaking the sound barrier makes sparks fly into the air lol

[Lamb00FGoD]

6,480 miles per hour.

[Evownz]

Usually when something breaks the sound barrier, it doesn't send a plume of molten hot metal fragments flying through the air. I would think someone who frequently experiences them would be aware of that little nugget.

[rcht2370]

umm it was alittle bit of both there johnny genious

[hellhawk522]

The end made me jump and was there a guy in there coz it blew up

[Akabuena]

THAT WUZ SCARY!!! xD

[336kgf]

ouch.

[sateautos]

who was on top of that? lol

[michaelwnek]

i know i wouldnt volunteer lol

[elijah5674]

Its a rocket sked...they have been using the sleds (mostly unmanned, although some were manned) for several decades.

With that kind of abrupt high g-force run into a solid wall, I highly doubt pilots would volunteer for such an assignment.

[ho33es]

so you're saying there's openings?

[xXxarshavinxXx]

WOW

[yugoprowers]

WOW So that's what a troll looks like ==> ribhkum

[DarkBlade024]

lol at the end i heard the bam and was like 'WHOA"

[kladivous]

I think that was the launch you heard. The succeeding bursts after that were in time with the stage separations that you saw. Microphones must have been pretty far away from the test sight.

[mrdagater]

yo for all you smart people i got question. so you know on a sunny day u see a streak of white coming from a plane or something. does that mean it went through a sonic barrior?

[RallyRx7]

No.

With the exception of military aircraft (and even they have to get permission from ground controllers) flying faster than mach 1 is illegal in U.S. airspace unless its over an air base or bombing range.

[mrdagater]

well that helps, i always wanted to know what that stuff was

[asnman4456]

no, that's just emissions from the jet engine as a result of combustion..if it broke through the sound barrier you would hear a 'sonic boom' but the "streaks" are always going to occur even if it's not going 700mph. hope it helps :)

[mrdagater]

ya thanx

[freakholland25]

it's the result of the speed of the plane and the resistance of the plane itself...

water condensates on the plane.... thats what leaves the white stripes behind the plane... it aint emmisions... kerosine doesn't leave a visible stripe.... just like methanol... hope this answers your question... viva holandia!!!! :P

[momchooo]

@freakholland25 sorry mate, but you're wrong - the contrails behind the airplanes are due to emissions from the jet exhaust. Even wiki can tell you that much ;)

[TheArfdog]

@freakholland25 I thought Europeans were supposed to be well educated? This is completely wrong hahaha.

[ribhkum]

@mrdagater "a sonic barrier?" what are you 6 years old?

[mrdagater]

fag, i know what its called i got mixed up with sound barrier and sonic boom.

[ribhkum]

@mrdagater you sound like your always mixed up! ha ha

[J0n3eR4M]

0112337 thats rubbish my vauxhall astra drives at 7060mph on the way to school. but it is well fun when we go to morrisons in our nissan micra we get to travel at 10000mph its well fun!

[0112337]

I would change the "mph" to "cm" in your statement.

[0112337]

Are they testing a missile? There is no way anybody could actually ride on that thing. 10430 km/h, that is about 6,518, almost mach 9. The G-force from the acceleration and deceleration will literally rip you to pieces.

[jackinaboxxxx]

It may not be a missle, it could well be a unmanned airplane too...and mach is temperature dependant.
