It is shown by numerical calculations that in extended thermodynamics of 13, 14, 20, and 21 moments a continuous shock structure exists up to a critical Mach number. The critical Mach number increases by increasing the number of moments; the value runs from 1.65 for 13 moments up to 1.887 for 21 moments.
