It's about time that we put to bed this fallacy about red ones being faster than black ones, flames make it faster & all the rest of that crap. The fact is "Blue" is faster - end of story, who's arguing with the captain.
You are quite correct there canberraR3, but you must remember that you are upside down & the light plays tricks in a reverse atmosphere makeing "Blue" appear to be "Maroon",or is it that we see Maroon as blue, anyway it's not black.
