Hypersonic Missiles, Glide Vehicles and Spaceplanes

How much of a threat are hypersonic weapons?
And how could this technology be used for good?
In this lesson we discuss the basics of hypersonic flight,
Including the sound barrier, shockwave generation and
the high temperatures that can be generated by
hypersonic flight as well as the amazing new nanoprinted
alloys that could make intercontinental travel so much
faster, help return helium three from the Moon, and
allow us to travel anywhere on Earth in less than an hour.
