“What’s the Fastest Spacecraft Ever?”

The UFO that was over New Mexico in 1947.....
until it crashed at Roswell.

it’s a shame that the members of this regime weren’t on it.

For spacecraft that zoom through the cosmos at thousands of miles per hour (that's thousands of kilometers per hour)

That would be the starship Heart of Gold, the first space craft to contain the Infinite Improbability Drive.

New Horizons' escape speed from Earth beat the previous record of 32,400 mph (about 52,000 km/h), set when Pioneer 10 set out for Jupiter in 1972.

I was able to watch the night launch of Pioneer 10 back in 1972 from a few miles offshore. It was spectacular, and it was real.

I think the USS Excelsior was a transwarp ship. But Scotty thought it was a piece of junk.

Any ship with "the traveler" aboard could travel BETWEEN galaxies in seconds.

This 1,054 pound (478 kg), piano-sized spacecraft, which launched in January 2006, sped away from the Earth at a blistering pace of 36,000 miles per hour (almost 58,000 kilometers per hour).

 Piano sized? Would that be an upright, baby grand, or grand piano? Idiots.

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.
