I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph.

I know bullets can be fast, but they are not exactly everyday life (at least in my life).

I included mass for obvious relativistic reasons.

    I wonder where that thing is nowadays. Probably landed in the ocean somewhere, or even burned up if it didn’t just flat out leave earth orbit.

      I’m pretty sure the article iIread said it had more than enough speed to reach escape velocity, but would have ablated/vaporized before doing so.
