Fixed-wing aircraft taxi because their wheels reduce friction as they

So, logically, spacecraft in the frictionless environment of outer space
should immediately accelerate to the speed of light.

The only thread better than this one was the one where the guy wanted
to get a uniform because he'd just gotten his PPL.

He almost convinced me to want one too. lol NOT! A flight suit and a
pair of NOMEX gloves would be cool though, well maybe an A-2 jacket
and a pilots' Ray Ban.
