if I understand correctly that’s not extraordinary fast. NASA has sent things over 150k mph.

  Oh interesting, you're right the Juno spacecraft went 130,000mph. Fascinating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vehicle_speed_records#Spacecraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vehicle_speed_records#...

    I'm honestly kind of surprised to see people using miles per hour for measurement of speeds in space. I guess I should specify how many leagues my car can travel per hogshead, as well.

      I'm from Canada but the article used MPH so I kept it. I'd rather not convert every number I copy/paste. Plus everyone gets the gist of what mph means. It's common sense.

        Orbital velocities are generally quoted in miles per second or km/s, and so is the speed of light. So mph tends to lack context.
