Because it’s falling down toward something very, very big?

Not sure what this means, given that each of us sitting at desktops everywhere are also moving in the ballpark of 1.3 million miles an hour (I think that is relative to the local cluster).

Since the earth is moving WRT the Sun, that speed could be relative to the Earth or to the Sun, or perhaps to Venus which Parker Solar is orbiting.

So, Parker Solar’s speed could be added/subtracted/a-mixture to that 1.3 million.

Parker Solar Probe will repeatedly break its own records, achieving a top speed of about 430,000 miles per hour in 2024.

Yeah, but will it still be "alive" by then?

“430,000 miles per hour in 2024”

at which point it destroys itself by crashing into a NEO giving it just enough of a push to send the big meteor into the earth.

153,000 mph?

Is it flying with the wind, or against it?
