Endevour Space Shuttle can be seen here supported on seismic base isolation system designed by Arup. The speed of water vapor emissions when the shuttle was taking off was about 15,600 kilometers per hour! To get a better understanding of this number, one need to compare this with design hurricane wind speed of about 200 kilometers per hour for which the high-rise buildings in Florida are normally designed for.
