It went that fast because its like the bullet was able to be "fired" like 10x in a row without slowing down.
At a certain point the sat maintains its acceleration without worrying about loss due to friction/gravity. Then when adding additional acceleration the speed will continue to increase.
Imagine you are ice skating and I push you and you move forward and continue to slide at 2mph. While you are moving I would push you and you would move forward at 3mph. And so on and so forth you could build speed this way.
The problem the satellite may have now though is that if it ever wants to slow down it needs to find the energy to go 17,500mph in the opposite direction.
All this is regular shit and not some conspiracy, still very much in the realm of newtonian physics, apple falls from the tree.
I don't understand. Is this a troll?
