I’m going to be very disappointed if the rockets top out at 65mph.

Well imagine you’re driving 75mph and want to catch up to a car ahead of you, 5 miles away driving 70mph. It would take you an hour to catch up despite driving 75mph. And now imagine you not only want to catch up but you actually want to connect your car with the car in front of you. Hitting the other car with 5mph difference might be too rough so ylas you approach you slowly match your speed with the speed of the other car. So that when you connect the difference in speeds are maybe only 1mph. Change the numbers to roughly 5mps for the iss and you certainly don’t want to bump into it with 1 mile per second difference so you’ll have to decelerate even more as you approach…that takes time, and not because anything is slow but because everything is so fucking fast.
