On % in episode we saw
our hero (bart janssens):

This is a typical example of doublethink.

From the point of your OWN EXPERIENCE and of your OWN EMPIRICAL
METHOD...you never experienced a velocity of more than 600KPH at
sea-level...and you really do not know a honest person that has gone
faster than 600KPH at sea-level,
however you probably "follow" the believe that many men have already
broken the sound-barrier at sea-level, which means that those men went
FASTER than 1200KPH at sea-level...

In order to neutralize this contradiction most people believe that is
FORBIDDEN BY LAW TO DEMONSTRATE THE BREAKING OF THE SOUND-BARRIER,
and to go faster than 1200KPH, because of the supersonic bang,...

and then they simply forget the difference
between 600KPH and 1200KPH....

None of this makes any damn sense.

I see no reason to doubt reports that the speed of sound was exceeded on
the ground. What would stop them?

Do you know any report that a speed of 600KPH was exceeded
by a man at sea-level?

Are pictures good enough for you?

This link cites the overpressure measured resulting from
supersonic aircraft at altitudes of less than 100 feet.

So, why do you believe that the speed of sound (1200KPH)
was exceeded at sea-level?

Or, are you a double-speaker?



My words:
And if you claim that "2+2=5" and "600=1200", than you can easily
believe that space-travel, which needs 28000KPH, is possible...

Well, *somebody put some satellites up there. I even watch TV off of
one...

...there are some (natural) satellites,
like the moon and the asteroids and the ionosphere....

But, why is necessary to claim that "somebody" has put them there?

You are like a christian who sees proof of the existence of God,
because God PUT "man in the garden of Eden"....
