200mph is 300ft/sec.
261 Miles per Hour = 382.8ft/sec.
Meh.
Think how fast the astronauts go, and that’s nothing.
17,500 mph
The space shuttle does have a maximum speed of 17,500 mph, but that speed is relative to the Earth. If you think about the space shuttle’s velocity relative to the Sun, then the answer is the sum of Earth’s velocity plus that of the shuttle. This means that the shuttle is moving at 67,000 + 17,500 mph (84,500 mph).
84,500 Miles per Hour =
123,933.333333 Feet per Second
It's kind of hard to take your wife in the space shuttle for a relaxing drive along the beach, then stop into your favorite seafood restaurant for a bite to eat...
Just saying...
