"The Millenium Falcon used light speed. Enterprise used a faster the light drive."
Both were beat by the Event Horizon, which folded space to travel instantaneously between two points.

That movie really gives a view of traveling a through a wormhole in a Sci-Fi thriller point of view. Good Movie.

OK. You’ve answered my question. :-) I just think describing something in terms of something like a piano is silly, given the variation in possible sizes this could represent. Didn’t Schroeder play a piano about a foot long? :-)

Piano sized? Would that be an upright, baby grand, or grand piano? Grand piano. Check out my profile page for pics.

While New Horizons is likely to remain the fastest launched spacecraft due to the Atlas 551 launch & relatively small payload, it should be noted that Juno’s orbital velocity around Jupiter will reach ~100,000 mph.
