What does Voyager 1 speed look like on earth?

In this video, we'll take a look at what Voyager 1 speed looks like on earth using Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Help me get to 100k subs!

The fact that you have to 8x the speed of Voyager to show how 'quickly' it travels from West Coast to East Coast, shows just how SLOW the speed of the fastest made human object in space (when launched) is in the grand scheme of things.

This made me realize how massive the Grand Canyon actually is

[gpgpgpgp]

That is actually way way slower than I imagined.

To add some perspective, V1 was launched on 9/5/77, it’s speed is about 38, 000 mph, on roughly 2/5/26 it will have traveled the distance it takes light to reach in one day.

0:23 thank you for not hitting the towers 🤣

Speeding it up defeated the point of showing how long it would take at Voyager's actual speed.

[DavidBrown-wzcu]

At that speed it would still take 50, 000 years to reach the nearest star.

Kinda wasn't expecting 8x speed for that trip from east to west.

[khumokwezimashapa]

It would take 5 minutes for it to go from LA to NY? That's so slow. No wonder it barely left our Star System

[DontWantToSayName]

Noticable upgrade to your videos with the narration and animations, well done and keep it up.

[ArchangelExile]

It got from LA to NYC faster than it takes me to get up in the morning.

[afropunkx]

This video is mind blowing, it both shows how big the earth actually is, but also how slow the Voyager is travelling in relation to the distance it is now travelling.

Man i need to go to sleep but youtube slaps me in the face with these interesting videos one after another.

[jamesjudd]

Try doing the Parker solar probe. That's the fastest man made object. Anyway, great video, liked and subbed :D

[davidhowell]

Hmm, am I missing something? That seems pretty slow compared to what my expectation would be. I was imagining it's speed such that it would cross the continental US in less than a minute (maybe even just a few seconds). This is one of those spacecraft where the human race will someday send another interstellar craft outward and it will catch up and pass Voyager 1 like it is standing still.

[glauberglousger]

Hypersonic flights or Starship could get quick speeds, but this quick and you could accidentally reach escape velocity with those vessels

[innertubez]

I love how the POV is careful to ascend and descend to show Voyager working its way across the terrain. Lol

1:04.. Voyager 1 has not left the solar system but it is currently leaving the solar system. Once left the Oort Cloud you can say it’s left the solar system. It will reach the Oort Cloud in 300 years and another 30, 000 to pass through. That’s when it’s left the solar system. Straight facts

[redphillips]

0:22 Something's amiss... 38, 000 MPH is just over ten MPS and this flyover New York City sure doesn't look like it's covering ten miles each second. If anything it's too slow. Granted, maybe my eyes and internal clock are off while watching the speed of it.

You should do the man hole cover that we blasted into space by accident (fastest man made object)
