50X faster than a bullet

foxnews.com - It's fifty times faster than a speeding bullet.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."The mission is very exciting," University of Iowa research scientist Bill Kurth told FoxNews.
