Bugatti owners got a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Kennedy Space Center car auto cars
Bugatti invited some of its owners out to the Kennedy Space Center to experience how fast their cars really are.using the three-mile runway in Florida to do some straight-line aerodynamic testing. However, since it had access to the long, flat stretch of tarmac, it thought it might as well invite some Chiron owners to the location.
“Just a few years ago achieving 400 km/h required months of careful preparation, the very best motorsport drivers and the most favorable conditions,” said Christophe Piochon, president of Bugatti Automobiles.
At 250 mph drivers are covering roughly the length of a football field every second. In getting there, they experience 1G of longitudinal force. And once they’re racing along at high speed, they need to allow the Chiron to wander back and forth along the track, rather than attempting to fight it.The physical realities of traveling so fast offer other challenges, too. Because the horizon is coming at you so fast, you have to look farther down the road than you’re used to.
In addition, drivers needed to come with their Top Speed Key, which automatically induces the car to check itself and ensure that it is ready to achieve these kinds of speeds. It also repositions the Chiron, putting it into its lowest suspension setting to prepare it for the aerodynamic assault when doing 250 mph.11 seconds to reach 186 mph , getting up to 250 mph takes most of the rest of the runway.
Still, for the 18 owners who were in attendance at this event, it’s a reminder of how wild the engineering behind the Bugatti Chiron really is.

China plans to land astronauts on moon before 2030, expand space station, bring on foreign partnersOfficials with China's burgeoning space program say they plan to place astronauts on the moon before 2030 and expand their space station. Monday's announcement comes amid against the background of a rivalry with the U.S. for reaching new milestones in outer space that reflects their competition for influence on global events. The U.S. aims to put astronauts back on the lunar surface by the end of 2025. The deputy director of China's space agency confirmed the twin objectives at a news conference but gave no specific dates. The agency also introduced three astronauts who will head to the country's space station in a launch scheduled Tuesday. They'll replace a crew that's been on the orbiting station for six months.
