It blows my mind a space shuttle can get more miles per gallon than any vehicle ever made.
Let that sink in

This thread is weaponized retardation.

nonsense
It can't even lift itself off without boosters & a huge disposable fuel tank
>>33356797
The external tank is 550,000 gallons of LOX and LH2, and an average 1 week flight was 4-5 million miles, so that is barely 9mpg, which goes even lower when you include the solids.
We have gone faster. It's just classified.

Sailboats get even better miles per gallon. Let that sink in
