Speed limit on German highways (Autobahn): none. Welcome, Apollo 10!

And then we look at the speed of the earth around the sun: 107.300 km/h
The speed of the earth in the universe, as seen from a random static position (since speed and movement is relative): 1.404.000 km/h

Dang, we are slow :D

BTW: Star Trek's Warp 9 (following a redefinition somewhere between the original 23rd and 24th century timeline) translates to approximately 1,016,654,809,564 MPH.

How is the Eurofighter the "world's most advanced combat aircraft"? That's a 4th generation fighter. We have 5th generation now.
