Off the internet.....
Over the past couple years, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has continually smashed its own speed records. And in the next year, it will continue to break more records.
The agency's well-fortified spacecraft is swooping progressively closer to the sun and during each pass, picks up more speed.
In 2018, soon after its launch, the probe became the
fastest human-made object
ever built, and by 2024 it will reach a whopping 430,000 miles per hour.
Thats 119 MILES PER SECOND!!!

Obligatory - ALMOST as fast as a (Blue and Ivory) Valkyrie!

430,000 mph relative to... ? Earth would be my guess... but what does that even mean? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vQJez9iiS7YI went through the gorge on I-40 once in the fast lane when there were a lot of transfer trucks and everyone was going 80. That was pretty fast!  -Mike |

There's a reason my Orange and Black Valkyrie has that Orange on parts of it, friction causes things like that................ Rams  |

I've been told my Valk is a green and silver combo. I'm not sure.
Too fast to see.

Precisely why I added a belly tank on my last Valk. Rams |
