What is said about it
3 statements, by date (the events above are the turns of the thread; these are the details).
- 2021-10-11 · The Fastest Things in the Universe (Entirely According to Me) — Hank: By the 1960s people went from 120 to over 24,000 miles per hour; the record, set by Tom Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan returning from the Moon on Apollo 10, is unbeaten. — 00:01:18
- 2021-10-11 · The Fastest Things in the Universe (Entirely According to Me) — Hank guesses Apollo 10 went faster home than any other Apollo mission because of orbital mechanics, not because the crew was in a hurry. (hedged) — 00:01:47
- 2021-10-11 · The Fastest Things in the Universe (Entirely According to Me) — Hank: Lower orbits are faster: Mercury orbits the Sun faster than Venus, Venus than Earth, Earth than Mars, so a probe close to the Sun goes very fast. — 00:01:58
