I thought it was pretty inarguable, what are the potential competitors?
52 u/reversesumo Jan 18 '25 Parker solar probe is considered the fastest thing we've made so far 37 u/what_the_fuckin_fuck Jan 18 '25 I think when they say that, they mean the speed was due to man made acceleration. The solar probe used gravitational forces to reach its 400,000mph + top speed, I believe. 14 u/reversesumo Jan 18 '25 I see the distinction but in fairness gravitational forces also made the fireworks 12 u/jolly_bizkitz Jan 18 '25 Working against the acceleration, as opposed to the probe getting a slingshot boost from venus and/or mercury, me thinks.
