    The article you linked doesn’t say what you claim it says. It discusses a 25moh car hitting a pedestrian, which is wildly different from a true 25mph impact in general, because most pedestrians will try to dodge.

    Humans can’t survive being hit by a car at 25 mph.

    The primary purpose of most speed limits is tax revenue, which is why most speed limits are not based on safety evidence. The local authorities just tweak the limits to maximize profits.

    I love you, unlike OP, who clearly hates you, so here’s the alt-text.

    On January 26th, 2274 Mars days into the mission, NASA declared Spirit a ‘stationary research station’, expected to stay operational for several more months until the dust buildup on its solar panels forces a final shutdown.
