This Parker probe that,s heading for the Sun , I believe , slingshots around Venus to accelerate it to .... 430,000 MPH
Its somewhat scary ...I'm thinking back to being a child , One channel television . if you had one at all , radio was king , the Home Service , the Light Programme , Radio Luxembourg They never went that fast on Journey into Space , Dan Dare never went that fast .... OK Captain Kirk had Warp Drive in the '70's .
Back as a child , if someone had said people will walk on the Moon , there will be a space station in Earth orbit and a probe will be heading for the Sun at 430,000 MPH he would branded a fantasist .
