Spectacular...

took 1 minute to reach 1100mph, 2 minutes 3100mph, 3 minutes 4000mph... now that is quick

 

[fossyant]

Don't look comfy in there

48 miles straight up from a standing start in less than 3 mins.

Gotta love rocket science

 

[ianrauk]

now travelling at 13500mph

Up there in minutes, but another 6 hours before they gently gently enter the ISS orbit and dock.

Cheers for the link. Good stuff this modern tech.

Launch replay's coming up for those that missed it.

That would be one strava segment to beat.

I enjoyed watching that
