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.
LA to NYC is 5 hours air time by plane. Voyager does this in 5 minutes. 5 hours - 5 minutes. You don't say its slow. But the distance is super vast. ~3k miles.
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.
@@jg2977 Despite that, I sometimes wish I'd stowed away on one of the Voyagers. I was 18 when they launched and - despite obvious rigors - I would have found the trip less grueling than what we've gone through in this world since 1977.
@@glauberglousger6643 like the manhole cover from the underground test. Wasn't that the fastest man made object. The scientist just said "it was going like a bat". But in reality they think it hit around 125000 mph and is traveling through space now.
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.
At first I was skeptical until I did some measurements on Google maps. 17km per second is about 10.5 miles per second. It’s actually pretty accurate if you know the distances of places you’re looking at. In my case it was NYC.
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.
@@mesh8349 more than likely this will never happen. in fact the fermi paradox points to the fact that space travel is not easy, even for advanced Type 3 Civs and above.

@@robocatssj3theofficial No, it doesn't. How did you even come up with that conclusion? 1/80 speed of light is 3750 km/second which is many orders of magnitude faster than what's shown here
I've just subscribed and have a request - could you do it in normal time, showing other - not only the Grand Canycon - importan places in hte U.S.A., like maybe "Missipi in 10 seconds" or something like that, please?
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
The Oort Cloud is still hypothetical, no one has ever had any direct observations of any body in it, as they would be impossible to see with any current telescope. The only reason it has been suggested is to try to explain where comets come from. As for its actual size if it does exist and the number of objects it may contain, well those are nothing more than educated guesses so far. Voyager 1 is officially now travelling in interstellar space.
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.
Would anything actually be able to travel this fast in earth's atmosphere without burning up or melting down? What would it take to propel anything to this kind of speed inside of earth's atmosphere?
Well it would be impossible for a number of reasons, 1. The earth atmosphere is just too dense at the surface, you would need to be at least 50000 feet in the air to even consider this 2. There is just nothing that can propel you this fast it is physically not possible, unless you are in space 3. Assuming there was some kind of magic allowing you to be propelled this fast, as you mentioned, there is no way it would not burn up or even be completely obliterated
A Photon of light travels that distance (US coast to coast) in 1/620th of a second. Less than half a millisecond. Which is why it took so long to measure the speed of light….it seems instantaneous. People only noticed that light has an actual speed when they measured it over astronomical distances.
You probably need a better measurement if you’re having to 8x the playback speed for a time illustration. It’s like saying “look how big this object is in comparison to the Eiffel Tower” then shrinking the Eiffel Tower in the visual display
So actually, it is travelling relatively slowly. This is confirmed by the fact that the video was sped up to decrease the time you'd have to sit and watch in real time.
Wow the United States ( and world) are huge. Hard to comprehend how big it really is, especially when there are so many comparisons and visualizations that make it seem small
New York & Los Angeles 2445.58 miles apart as the crow flies, and it takes 5 minutes. If it were to continue, it would reach Amsterdam in only 6 minutes.
My question is how do NASA able to communities spacecraft etc that are so far away from Earth. We can’t even coverage rural areas with mobile phone and some if not half are still on 4G. Very few still use 3G at times switching between 3G and 4G network.
Well seems fast but in scale of space it's basicly nothing. Until it reach some interesting things we all be long gone and people probably forget it was even launched.

23 hours at the date of this post (6/6/2024). Voyager 1 travels at 3.5 AUs per year so in mid 2026 it will be 24 hours light travel time.
Speeding it up defeated the point of showing how long it would take at Voyager's actual speed.
They didn't want to lose viewers on the long trip across the Great Plains.
There's still a timer at the bottom, it's not that hard to imagine how long 5 minutes would be
If Voyager were headed in the direction of the Alpha Centauri star system, it would take 75,000 years to get there.

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