Need to correct the title. Mach is easy, Mach 5 is not.

Pretty awesome

HOWEVER

I’m a little skeptical that he actually achieved that. Supersonic is pretty hard and hypersonic is really, really hard. That little rocket went that fast, and he found it again? How did he measure that high of a speed over what course?
