17,000 mph!

That's the average speed of a satellite whizzing by.
Kinda boggles the mind.

New Horizons will pass by Pluto at 30,800 MPH

New Horizons will pass by Pluto at 30,800 MPH

Read about that yesterday, pretty amazing!

[Green Arrow]

Yup and the fact its just falling back to earth makes my head hurt.

[Sackett]

Did you know you and everyone on this planet are traveling at approx 1,000 MPH? That's how fast Earth spins. Crazy when you think about it.

New Horizons will pass by Pluto at 30,800 MPH

513 miles a minute!

[Stoof]

This is all well above my pay grade. I'm going to bed.

Its even weirder when you realize if you fly to the equator you will actually be moving faster than if you were closer to the poles. Add in the fact that the earth is moving through space in orbit around the sun at 66000 MPH. NOW... to really blow our minds, our solar system itself is rotating around the center of the galaxy at ~560,000 MPH. Its like relative speed inception! Speed within Speed within Speed.

Great...more parameters to account for when I dial in my scope.

Just gives another excuse when a shot was off its mark.

People in the southern hemisphere are upside down

People in the southern hemisphere are upside down

Yeah! And their water swirls the wrong direction!

If your in a car doing 75mph and a fly is flying by your head, is the fly flying 75 miles per hour?

This is impossible, the earth is flat.
