(1,438 posts)The fastest any man-made object ever (unless you count the missing manhole cover from an underground nuclear test that supposedly reached 125,000 mph ( I think it dissipated, a disc of steel or iron on top of a nuclear bomb flame front with a million degree temperature? ) is New Horizons at 36,000 ish MPH.

And that's literally the closest star to us in the Alpha Centuari stellar system which is our closest neighbor. The rest? Way more? Way, way more. We won't even speak English or remember NASA in 80,000 years if we are still here.
