“Like a rocket” is a phrase for a reason
replyEh, they've left some performance on the table:
reply> Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching a speed of Mach 10 (12,000 km/h; 7,600 mph) in 5 seconds. Such a high velocity at relatively low altitudes created skin temperatures up to 6,200 °F (3,400 °C), requiring an ablative shield to dissipate the heat. The high temperature caused a plasma to form around the missile, requiring extremely powerful radio signals to reach it for guidance. The missile glowed bright white as it flew.

Maybe v4.
I’m really struggling to find a point to this comment
replyIt's a joke. An excuse to share one of my favorite rockets. A rocket that happens to uniquely support your point.
replyI chuckled and appreciated the anecdote, having not read about this rocket before. Thanks.
replyBecause you are speechless?
replySuch accelleration! Much wow!
