A Very Appropriate Quote

Quoting from the concordance for DWV: Chapter Four:
Quote:I'd made it to hard vacuum in less than 50 seconds.
The Karman Line, considered to be the boundary beyond which is officially "outer space," is 100 kilometers or approximately 58 miles up. At Mach 6 (about 4566 miles per hour and Doug's top atmospheric speed using "I Am A Pioneer", as seen in Chapter Six of DW2), Doug can reach the Karman Line in a hair under 46 seconds.
As such, 58mph times 6 (6 times 10 mins equals 60 mins or 1 hour) equals 348mph.

The atmosphere however extends beyond that to a theoretical 10,000 km or roughly 6214 miles, so 37,284mph
