			:What do people think about this paragraph?

			:: ''One must speculate that since a typical Viper's engines are vulnerable to heat-seeking missiles ([[Miniseries]]), these must be as well. Additionally, such engines would compromise the Blackbird's stealth features during powered flight. (This is less of a disadvantage in space than in atmospheric flight; a spacecraft's inertia is not disrupted by gravity, friction, and other factors an atmospheric-bound craft would be, and thus can fly straight almost indefinitely without firing its engines while in empty space.)''
