This is the same video the US Navy has had on Youtube for the past few years now. I was hoping that they would be showing the completed weapon ready to be, or already mounted on a gun turret.

doesnt the space shuttle travel at mach 20 or more once it leaves the gravitational pull of earth?

The only problem with a railgun is that the rail wears away because of the extreme heat and friction.

Spacecraft not yet reaching Mach 6 and comparing a projectile to a plane instead of a projectile of similar caliber does not instill confidence in me.

In Star Wars they don't use Railguns! You are thinking of HALO or some other Sci-Fi. Be accurate Fox News! Oh wait...
