  1. no


  2. Even the space shuttle without being in the stratosphere of the earths atmosphere cant stand the stresses it would have to endure to perform a 6 minute trip around the world trip.

    No cheers

  3. No way. You wud need a star trek transporter for that.

  4. That would be several times escape velocity. Not only would it have to have a heck of a powerful engine to go that fast, it would also have to simultaneously have enormous thrust toward the earth to keep it in a path around it. The earth's gravity would not be enough.

    The answer is no.

  5. no dont think so

  6. If there is it would be the space shuttle.  And at 18,000 miles/hour it still takes hours to go around.

  7. If it traveled around the north or south poles. I could even walk around the world at the south pole in less than a minute.

    Oh, I just remembered, Superman could push an airplane that fast.

  8. no way there is nothing even close.

  9. That would be no.

  10. the earth is about 24 thousand miles around at the equater.

    There is 24 hours in a day-

    soooo........

    at the equater the sun crosses the sky at 1000 miles an hour

    so you would figure that 24000 miles/ divided by 6 minutes and that is 4000 miles a minute. 4000 miles a minute X 60 minutes = 240,000 miles an hour

    no plane can go that fast--- period

    even if your not on the equater, that is just to fast--unless your at one of the poles then it's no big deal, but your not really going around the world then.
