Falcon 9 1st Stage performing reentry for a landing. It's around 120 km up in the atmosphere and coming back towards the earth at close to mach 10.

In the 90s, there were speed limit signs in Montana that said "reasonable and prudent". Don't know if they are still there.

No, they are not. When I drove across Montana in 1997 (at 75-80 mph) they were already planning to do away with the no speed limit thing. BTW, all the cops were hanging out in the 55 mph construction zones

I'm guessing that as a U S Marine in WW2 in the South Pacific and being a BAR operator, he knows what he is doing.

At first I thought it was the Stiletto, but then seeing the windows on the side, I believe you are right.

The M80 Stiletto is a cool ass boat that can go 70 mph and cuts through 13 foot waves:
