I thought this thread would be about Obama’s endless lies during the debates.

Supersonic? Faster than the speed of sound? Who writes this stuff?

A supersonic jet of unknown material ...

I have a real problem with talking about "supersonic jets" occurring in the vacuum of interstellar space. I may indeed be pedantic about this language usage, but in a science publication there should be anther term used for high-speed phenomena.

Scanning for a definition of supersonic renders the following "capable of exceeding speed of sound: relating to, produced by, or capable of reaching a speed that is faster than the speed at which sound travels through the air." Ah well, curmudgeon mode off.

What is escape velocity from an event horizon? You have to get superluminal.
