I saw this on the Discovery channel and it was a multistage rocket on the straightest test track on earth. No wheels, it slid directly on the track, through a tube of helium gas.

What is a free range rocket? I guess I do not know rocket terms.

Was it a free range rocket?

I assume it is a combination of factors. I am a musician, but I figure that mass, inertia, friction, wind resistance vs aerodynamics and weather factors all play a vital role. I am sure they could go faster in a vaccume with the tracks greased up with vaseline and WD-40 lol. I believe they use these tests with weapons systems and flight dynamics.

Really? Do you know how much energy accelerating to 6,400 mph in that time would take?

Exactly how much that rocket produces. ...Duh...?
