Would it be faster for you to travel from planet to planet within a solar systemfrom star to star within a galaxy or from glaxay from glaxay within the universe?
You would go as fast as you could, which at the moment is round about 20 miles per second for spacecraft. At that speed you would get to the nearest star in 38,000 years.
What design challenges do scientists face in trying to land a spacecraft on a comet?
the speed of a comet and the rotation is far too fast for a spacecraft to land
What is the fastest thing man has ever invented and how fast can it go?
Radio waves and lasers travel at the speed of light, but the fastest "things" ever built are obviously spacecraft. They have extremely long distances to travel. The fastest velocity ever achieved by a powered spacecraft is being achieved by the New Horizons spacecraft heading for a rendezvous with Pluto in July 2015. It set the powered record of 36,373 mph after its launch from Earth in 2006. It attained a maximum speed of about 52,000 mph using a flyby of the planet Jupiter in February 2007.
Some fast do light rays travel?
Yes, they travel some fast!
How fast was the Galileo spacecraft going when it reached Jupiter?
From what I have read it was going 50,000 mph.
How fast can a man made spacecraft travel in outer space?
1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 fast
How fast does a person travel in space when outside of spacecraft?
10000 km an hour
Why does the space station travel so fast?
The International Space Station is in a low Earth orbit between 199 mi and 216 mi. To maintain this orbit, the space station has to travel at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. If a spacecraft was launched sideways off the Earth with a low velocity, gravity would pull it towards the ground. If the spacecraft was launched at a faster velocity, it would hit the ground at a farther distance because the ground would be curving away at a faster rate. However if the spacecraft was launched fast enough, the Earth would constantly curve away as the spacecraft falls indefinitely. The spacecraft would be in orbit. The speed required for the International Space Station to orbit is 17,500 miles per hour. The higher an object's orbit is, the slower it has to travel to maintain that orbit.
How fast did Apollo spacecraft travel when going to the moon?
The Apollo spacecraft traveled at a maximum speed of 24,000 mph. To overcome the Earth's gravitational pull, one must travel at or above its escape velocity which is 24,000 mph.
How fast do spacecraft travel?
They can go up to 200 mph in the atmosphere, but in space they can go up to probably 30 or 60 mph.
Why did the Apollo 13 spacecraft have a parachute?
The same reason why all spacecrafts have parachutes: During reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft goes extremely fast. And if there are people in the spacecraft and no parachute, they would slam into the water at that speed and it would be like hitting concrete. So without a parachute, everyone on the spacecraft would be killed.
How fast does the spacecraft travel per second in the film 'Interstellar'?
In the film 'Interstellar', the spacecraft called Endurance travels at a significant fraction of the speed of light, specifically around 90% of the speed of light, which is approximately 270,000 kilometers per second.

You would go as fast as you could, which at the moment is round about 20 miles per second for spacecraft. At that speed you would get to the nearest star in 38,000 years.
What is the average speed of the spacecraft?
Space shuttles can travel at extremely fast speeds. Typically, space shuttles orbit the Earth at slightly less than 20,000 miles per hour.
How much time would it take to travel 107 miles?
It depends on how fast you travel.
When did the first spacecraft go to the moon?
It ran very fast
How fast would you have to go to travel 44 trillion km in an hour?
You would have to travel at 70.8 trillion miles per hour.
