... and from the back seat for the last 100 million miles it's been, "Are we there yet?".

...and WHAT is that SMELL??

I couldn’t figure out why the round trip light time was going down until I realized that we are moving around to the same side of the sun...2015 launched in 2006. Haulin ass too. About 10 miles per second.

To make one complete rotation in 24 hours, a point near the equator of the Earth must move at close to 1000 miles per hour (1600 km/hr).

For the earth to orbit the sun in one year takes a speed of 66,000 miles per hour (107,000 km/hr)3.

Relative to the local standard of rest, our Sun and the Earth are moving at about 43,000 miles per hour (70,000 km/hr) roughly in the direction of the bright star Vega in the constellation of Lyra.

The speed of the sun orbiting the Milky Way is an astounding 483,000 miles per hour (792,000 km/hr)!

And how fast is the Milky Way Galaxy moving? The speed turns out to be an astounding 1.3 million miles per hour (2.1 million km/hr)! We are moving roughly in the direction on the sky that is defined by the constellations of Leo and Virgo.

Probably Uranus.

Hey, someone had to say it.
