A Flying Car to Space
Imagine you have a flying car. You’re driving in the sky, and your favourite music is playing on the radio. It sounds like something from a science fiction movie, right? But technically, it’s possible. If you could drive your car straight up into the sky, at a speed of 96 km/h, it would only take one hour to reach space!
Space is about 100 km above the Earth’s surface, so driving at that speed, you’d reach the boundary of space in no time at all. Of course, this is just a fun idea for now, but one day, we might have cars that can take us into the sky and beyond!
