Just remember not to try and impress a girl back on Ceres by trying to slingshot through the ring.
RIP

Full. Stop.
Speed never killed anyone. Stopping quickly - that’s what gets you.
You come into a room too fast and the room eats you.
Doors and corners, kid, doors and corners...
I wonder if his teeth were moving fast enough to cause a problem for the integrity of the hull

Ah yes. And the epic Kenny Roger’s song “The Slow Zone” playing in the background.
Yes
RIP Manéo Jung-Espino—
Breaking news: The thing we put in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun is in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun (and hasn't yet reached its perihelion).
More at ten
My butt is orbiting the center of our galaxy at around 500K mph so that thing still has some ways to go.
I'm theory, the previous record holder is actually a particular man hole cover involved in operation plumbbum. Some napkin math put it at somewhere around 37 miles per second. A high speed camera pointed at it only caught one or two frames of moment.
Ah yes, the manhole cover made in Neenah, Wisconsin. Probably the furthest man made object from Earth at this point for sure.
Probably the furthest man made object from Earth at this point for sure.
The article says "Scientists believe compression heating caused the cap to vaporize as it sped through the atmosphere."
This, and Chris Waddle’s penalty kick for England against West Germany in the 1990 World Cup semi final.
It's unlikely it kept it though the atmosphere. But it's possible it was traveling so fast it didn't even have time to vaporize.
Well yeah, that's how orbits work. You accelerate down to your periapse, the closest point to the body you're orbiting, then slow down on the way up to your apoapse, the furthest point. Thus the probe will keep accelerating until it gets to its closest point to the sun.
