Why You Can't Outrun a Missile | Project Penrose 01 | Python Simulation

Why is simply flying faster not enough to escape a missile? In this Project Penrose experiment, we build a Python simulation to visualize what happens when a missile chases a moving aircraft. We look at speed, distance, prediction, pursuit, and guidance to see why a faster aircraft can still end up in a losing race. No hand-waving. We simulate it and find out.
