The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. As of September 2016, the X-15 holds the official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft.
RE: What does the spanish word &quot;vato&quot; mean? I am reading a novel right now where one character keeps calling the other &quot;vato&quot;, however, when I went to babelfish to get a translation, it said vato means &quot;I beat&quot;. Somehow I don&#39;t think this is the context that the word is being used in.
Vata is an Ayurvedic term referring to the aggravation of what is called wind in Tibetan medicine and the air element in astrology. However, it is actually a combination of both air and ether. When it is deranged or imbalanced, the fault or dosha becomes evident.
