Speed Trap in the Stratosphere? Rocket Pulled Over for 'Running a Stop Sign' — JAXA Vows to Launch at 60 km/h Next Time
A motorcycle officer hiding behind a cloud intercepted a rocket ascending at Mach 20. After dismissing the crew's plea that 'the sign wasn't visible,' the officer demanded they open their window at 100 km altitude to present their driver's license. JAXA announced that 'maintaining the crew's gold license is our top priority' and will restrict the next launch speed to 60 km/h to comply with the legal speed limit.
