So the maximum speed achieved by a man made object is 0.65 miles per second.

The man-made Saturn/Apollo spacecraft achieved 25,000 MPH, in trans lunar injection or nearly 7 miles/second. That is the fastest man has ever traveled.

Many of the unmanned deep-space probes have reached far higher speeds.

Helios travles at 150,000 mph or 41 miles/second..

7 miles per second is still far far far away from 186,000 miles per second, do you agree?
