Re: trying to get the SpaceX reusable rocket launching system article to meet B-class criteria, given odd nature of convert and convert on 2012-03-05. The review did not want Mach to go first, suggested km/s and mph to the converted units. (Note, the source gives the velocities in Mach no.):


 * yields: 6 Mach
 * yields: 6 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach


 * Varying things up a bit:
 * yields: 6 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach
 * Note that none of the last four report mph, yet if the mph parm is removed, things go weirdly.

Raw conversion data for the GA article
These conversions were used for a 1 Jan 2014 Talk page proposal for the soon-to-be-GA-reviewed SpaceX reusable launch system development program article:


 * km/h and mph conversions, assuming 90,000 feet altitude for Mach 6 and 120,000 feet altitude for Mach 10, which approximates the launch profile for this RP1/LOX first-stage booster.
 * yields: 6 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach


 * km/s conversions, assuming 90,000 feet altitude for Mach 6 and 120,000 feet altitude for Mach 10, which approximates the launch profile for these RP1/LOX first-stage boosters.
 * yields: 6 Mach
 * yields: 10 Mach
