People are glued to a simulation showing what Mach 50 speed looks like at ground level, and it’s mesmerizing. The video tears across open water, rockets over mountains, and blitzes into New York City like the planet’s fastest flyover.
The video, which has now amassed over 2 million views, was actually made using a Darkstar at Mach 10, the footage sped up 5x to imagine Mach 50 – and the result feels like someone slapped a GoPro on a comet.
Viewers have taken to the comment section, with one person saying it ‘puts into perspective how big the Earth is. But small at the same time’.
Another said ‘this is how I imagined flight as a child… like a 747 just doing this’. Suddenly, every childhood daydream about flying feels way too slow.
