The real reason why the SR71 newer took over for the U2 is that it was too fast and would outfly sensors or the day
Or so I was told years ago by a U2 pilot/astronaut

It reset my OODA loop climbing into the U2 when the pilot said, explosives are still armed, don't touch anything

At an altitude of 42 miles (67 kilometers), the F-1 engines shut down. The "mileage" of the first stage can be calculated from that information as 42 miles/203,400 gallons of kerosene, which works out to 0.000206 miles/gallon, or 13 inches per gallon of kerosene.


Geezus Krist, and you couldn't help me figure out 15% of $47.58 down at Hunters Inn? LMFAO ?
