The fastest vehicle flown by humans on a regular basis is the Space Shuttle which has a mass of about 1 × 105 kg and travels at a speed of about 8 × 103 m/s. Find the momentum of the Space Shuttle using relativistic formulae and then again by using non--relativistic formulae. By what percent do the relativistic and non-relativistic momenta of the Space Shuttle differ?
