Mr. Spock says the speed of light is defined as 299792458 metres per second (approximately 300000 km/s, or 186000 mi/s)

The speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second (1,235 km/h; 1,125 ft/s; 767 mph)  or Mach 1 I think.

If Warp One is the speed of light then Warp 1 is  904460 mach  or  693,720,820 miles per hour.

speed of light in vacuum =
904460.441682254 Mach at sea level & 32 dF
(velocity)

So the Enterprise wide open at Warp Nine is going 6,243,487,380 miles  per hour.

So Kirk can top out the ship at just over 6 billion miles per hour.  Just curious.


Trump could go faster without all the dead weight dragging him down.
