‎I’m watching this video (1:19:54-1:20:20). And there was something I didn’t understand →“They climb high and fast and they roll over and fall JUST AS fast toward the earth.”
I don’t know the meaning of “just as”
Please teach me this.

Equally

The speed of their ascent was as fast as the speed of their descent

It was equally as fast
It was just as fast

Oh, I understand. Thank you.
But why did he say “just”? I think that he want to emphasize “as(equally)”, he want to say “exactly the same speed”.
Is my understanding correct?

@rollerpigeon

Using – just as – to indicate an equal comparison, this is very common in English. One of the many ways we have to say this.
