NASA's Juno spacecraft to become fastest man-made object as it slingshots around Earth towards Jupiter
At 3:21 p.m. (EDT), NASA'S Juno Mission spacecraft will slingshot around Earth towards Jupiter, accelerating to 25 miles per second along the way and becoming the fastest man-made object in history. A .50-caliber bullet travels at about half a mile a second, by contrast -- nowhere near the blistering speed of Juno.
And nowhere near the speed of Yeager running for home when a Mrs Yeager calls.
