We've got space crafts hurtling towards the edge of our solar system really, really fast

We all know rockets are fast, and space is big. But sometimes when we're talking about how long it takes for us to get to distant parts of solar system (eight months to get to Mars,are you kidding me?) It can feel like our spacecraft are just crawling along out there

This gif shows just how wrong that idea is by comparing the speed of the New horizons probe, which flew past Pluto last year, to a747 and SR-71 Blackbird.

Hey! Welcome to Steemit! This community is amazing but does take some getting use to since it’s a bit different than the other social media platforms.
I joined Steemit December 30th, 2017 and have had a blast networking, learning and earning (actually made some pretty good money so far)!

I'd suggest signing up for these free applications for Steemit that gets you upvotes and followers. The first thing you need to do as a new user is to increase your STEEM POWER (SP), which increases your visibility and voting power. These were a huge help for me.
