Faster Readings With BMP180 Sensor On Arduino

I have a BMP180 barometric pressure sensor on an I2C breakout board connected to an Arduino. My goal is to use it for a model rocket altimeter. For that I need fast readings, ideally about 50 per second, or 20 mS between readings. With the example code below the fastest I'm able to get is about 20 readings per second, about 50 mS. Is there any way that the readings can be taken at a faster rate or is this the max for this sensor?
