the US has railguns on their stealth destroyers and the dumbfucks here are worried about China and their ships from 40 years ago

Me too. I won't be able to sleep at night until we have a gun barrel pointed at and trained on every person from sky satellites.

Do they plan to puncture the ocean with that loving railgun? I strongly support this.

This recovery operation is not worth the millions being poured into it. Just accept that :iiam: and let the airline pay the families.

I don't care how much it costs I must know what is on the black box so my "pilot went nuts"theory is proved right. Plus it is great training for the military forces involved in the search.

The rail gun can shoot projectiles at a speed of ~5,369MPH supposedly. Still not powerful enough to shoot enemies in space as that'd require speed ~25,200MPH.

That's orbital speed. There's no reason to reach orbit if you want to hit something in space, you just need to reach the target's altitude at the right time and it'll smack right into your projectile at 8 km/s. Even a relatively small missile like this can hit satellites. The railgun probably still falls a bit short but it's still way easier than reaching orbit.
