Hart is about right. Since the only time the speed is zero (except at the end of the landing roll) is when it's on the launch pad, we're talking about the initial acceleration at launch, which even at full thrust of 6.86 MN give only about 3.38 m/s² acceleration. This all works out to about 7.9 sec. Not too shabby for a 4 million lb rig!

The space shuttle goes very fast, it goes fast enought to leave the earth's gravity behind. It takes a few seconds for the speed to kick in but not to many and you are going thousands of mph.

I don't know about 0-60 but I found one site that quoted 0-100 in 8 seconds

im not sure, but i do know that the space shuttle clears the entire atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, exosphere) in 8 minutes. So it's like going 50+ miles in 8 minutes. My guess would be like 3 seconds or something like that.

A little faster than a Mustang GT. It's the 60-1200mph that's the real kick in the pants!

4.5 seconds. But what about say, 13,000- 13,060? That takes one second.
0-60 in under 0.2 seconds might kill you
