The fastest speed a human ever reached was a stunning 11,082 m/s (24,791 mph) during the Apollo 10 mission.

The first living things humans sent to space were fruit flies. In 1947 a V-2 rocket was launched to an altitude of 109 km (67.7 miles) to explore radiation exposure rates.

Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space. In 1961 he orbited Earth in 108 minutes.

The Hubble Space Telescope is 13.2 meters (43.5 ft) long and weighs 12,247 kg (27,000 lb). It needs about 2,100 watts energy and produces 5,500 watts solely with solar panels!

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, orbits earth at an altitude of 569 km (353 miles) and sends about 140 gigabits of data per week back to Earth.

Our sun is about 26.4 thousand light years away from the center of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way contains between 200-400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets.

The Milky Way is 100,000 light years wide; that is approx. 946,073,047,258,080,000,000 meters (587,862.5 trillion miles).

The International Space station (ISS) has been orbiting Earth since 1998! It travels at 27,600 km/h (17,200 mph) and orbits earth 15.5 times a day.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stage features 9 engines with a thrust of 8,227,000 N (1,849,500 lbf) in a vacuum. This would allow the rocket to transport a 4,020 kg (8862 lb) payload to Mars!

SpaceX's Falcon 9 second stage has just one engine with a thrust of 934,000 N (210,000 lbf) and a burn time of 397 seconds. The first stage features 9 engines with a thrust of 8,227,000 N (1,849,500 lbf) in a vacuum.

The Falcon 9 of SpaceX is the first orbital class rocket that is reusable. As of March 2020 it has already been used 50 times!

The spaceship used in Firefly is 81 meters (269 ft) long and has a crew capacity of only 5! It could, however, transport up to 74,797 kg (164,900 lb) of cargo.

The MCRN battleship Donnager is about 500 meters (1640 ft) long and weighs about 250,000 metric tons. It houses 2086 crew members.
