How fast is the Space Station moving overhead in MPH?
407005
I'd say 17000-19000 miles per hour.\n\nIts at a inclined geo-stationary orbit probably.
448267
the average orbital velocity of earth is 29.783 km/s.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

9 mil 1225 mph\nAK-47 1455 mph

its 225 mph or 362 kmph
41407
Anywhere from 105.00 to 190.00 depending on speed and space

I dont know but I know it travels at 27 miles per hour!

The average speed is 28 mph.\nAverage distance is 7-10 inches.

The Apollo missions that had to get to the moon had to hit 25,000 to get out of Earth orbit and for certain maneuvers around the moon. The space shuttle and/or ISS orbits the Earth at speeds between 17,000MPH and 18,000 MPH.\n\nUnmanned Spaceborn:\nHelios probes orbiting the sun hit 252,800 km/h in 1974.\n\nManned Airborn:\nOct. 3, 1967, the X-15A-2, piloted by Major William J. Pete' Knight, went Mach 6.7 (4,520 m.p.h.) above the Mojave Desert. Record stood until broken by the Space Shuttle in 1980. Highest altitude reached by X-15A was 354,200 ft.\n\nThe fastest air-breathing, manned vehicle, the SR-71, achieved slightly more than Mach 3 back in 1964. Chuck Yeager hit Mach 1 in 1947 with the X-1.\n\nUnmanned Airborn:\nRecently the unmanned speed record (in proximity to the earth anyway) was broken. The X43A hit Mach 9.6+. Scramjets are thought to be capable of hitting Mach 15+.\nexternal link\n\nManned Ground:\nMach 1.016 in the "ThrustSSC" by Andy Green in 1997.\nexternal link\n\nUnmanned Ground:\nA rocket sled hit Mach 8.5 (unmanned)

The current International Space Station commander, Sergei Krikalev, has set a new record for the most cumulative time in space - logging a total of 748 days in orbit on Tuesday. His repeated exposure to the physical and psychological stresses of long-duration spaceflight ranks him among the most resilient space-farers in history.\n\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7852

The Earth orbits the sun at an average speed of 67,000 mph in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above it's North Pole.

The shuttle usually operates at an orbital altitude of between 200 and 350 miles (careful! NASA often uses nautical miles for shuttle statistics), depending on what the mission and payload requirements for the flight are. A circular orbit at these heights implies an orbital speed of about 17,000 miles per hour. If the orbit is elliptical, the speed will be slightly higher, but not by much.

Between 30 and 40 mph.

1,038 mph at the equator\n\n66,600+ mph around the sun\n\n486,000 mph around the center of the Milky Way galaxy\n\n1,332,000 mph through the universe\n\nSpeed is a relative matter depending upon your perspective!
