Space clicker how fast

could a space ship go

From the age of Jules Verne and now, one of the most captivating questions humanity has asked, is how far and how fast could a space ship travel? In the classic game of space clicker, that same question is explored in an interactive and entertaining way.

In the Space Clicker game, you take control of a small spaceship and race it against three other computer controlled ships; all with one goal - to get to the finish line first. As you progress through thirty-two levels, you must use your skill and judgement to determine when is best to accelerate or decelerate your vessel to give yourself the best possible chance of winning. This involves carefully consideration velocity verses acceleration as well as understanding Newton's second law of motion by considering thrust over time.

The maximum speed in which an actual spacecraft can travel depends on a few factors including its engine power, thrust and acceleration rates. Although traditional vehicles are limited by fuel, spacecrafts have propulsion systems that employ much faster methods such as electric or chemical rocket thrusters which generate bigger forces than anything we have on earth. Combined with efficient manoeuvring techniques known as orbital mechanics these platforms can reach speeds exceeding 20 km/s (45000mph) for interplanetary travel and even greater than 70 km/s (150 000 mph) for escaping a planet's gravity field. So practically speaking, no matter how accurately you play Space Clicker - it will remain impossible ever beat any record times set in real life.
