your fun fact for the morning:

the fastest human-made object ever is a manhole cover that got launched into space during a subterranean nuclear bomb test in 1957.

“Brownlee calculated it was traveling at five times the escape velocity of the Earth — or about 125,000 miles per hour.

. . .

Pascal-B's estimated iron cover speed dwarfs the 36,373 mph that the New Horizons spacecraft — which many have called the fastest object launched by humankind — eventually reached while traveling toward Pluto.”

it is so silly and so awesome

the farthest object from Earth will be a fucking manhole cover hurtling through deep space lmaooooo
