Besides the space shuttle?
- gilgoomesh 12y agoYeah, the terminology isn't well defined by the article. The X-15 is the fastest, manned, suborbital craft ever built.
- ZanyProgrammer 12y agoSome of the X-15 pilots got astronaut wings.
- noer 12y agoThey got astronaut wings for Shuttle/Apollo/Skylab/Gemini(?) missions though, not specifically for their X-15 flights right?
- benihana 12y agoDidn't the Saturn V go faster than the Space Shuttle? Or did it just have more capability to go far (i.e. more delta-v), not necessarily faster?
- Gravityloss 12y agoIt launched the Apollo CSM to higher speeds, to reach the moon. That's the fastest man has travelled. Depends of course on your point of reference...
