    Would your body be recognizable if it crashed?

    hold on a second. a tube? Can a ballistic missile even travel that fast?

    A missile has to battle wind resistance. This would operate in a vacuum like it was traveling through space.

    An ICBM ballistic missile (is that redundant) travels through space. And it avoids the curvature on the Earth.
