He didn't say 2000mph , yet that was likely the
speed of the Shuttle at the time..
It reaches over 3000mph before those tanks drop off.

wouldn't the ice/foam be moving nearly the same relative speed as the shuttle, thereby making the 70mph comparison legit?

I am not an engineer but it would seem to me that since the piece of foam or ice came off the vehicle that it was moving at the same speed as the shuttle and only had a slight moment to decelerate. I guess what I am saying is you have a 10mph speed difference or something not a 2000mph difference.
