I'm having difficulty understand what you mean by "terminal velocity".
Please do me the kindness of explaining what you mean by the term.

Sam Wormley,
The point at which, if thrust energy is removed and the coasting
velocity regardless of gravity influence can no longer improve upon the
continuing velocity due to the local SM or ISM drag coefficient.

Terminal velocity, to my understanding, is a *constant velocity*
resulting from the equilibrium of a force such as gravity and the
drag of a resisting medium, such as a planet's atmosphere.

Are we on the same page?
