Divide by 3.2808 to get meters/second and the answer is 144,842,721,287 m/second.

That's way high.

Just google it: 11,176 m/s, or 6.9444444 miles/s.

Read down the thread. Error was found, recalculated, etc. But thanks!

Corrected calculation here. Again, thanks for the heads up! Good catch. (I hate it when that happens).
