For those who aren't used to thinking in km/s, this equates to 61,200 km/hour.

In freedom units that's fast as fuck
-
Actually, in Freedom Units it's 2,040,000 blue whales per hour
Length of a blue whale: 30 meters 61,200 km / 0.03 km = 2,040,000

How does that just happen to be your username

or 1,433,255 football fields per baseball game

Oh, sure, right now it's all about wanting to get out of here, but they'll come crawling back, looking for their creator so they can introduce their weird bald girlfriend.

The distances of both voyager probes from earth are actually decreasing at the moment due to Earth's position in its orbit around the sun. NASA link with their distances
-
On average Earth's location is close to the middle of the sun, so it's still accurate to say it's getting further away from earth
-
They're still moving away, it's just that at the moment the earth is moving towards them.

To get the feel of this speed, it's about 10 minutes of driving on a clear freeway, in one second.
[OCD folks do your thing (sigh) and remember I'm one of you, but I am not trying to be exact, just giving the general feel of it.]

I wish I could die alone in the vacuum of space.

"Oh, looks like my battery is low. Having troubling hearing you. Hello? Oh well, bye..."

yeeted by science

I too wish to flee the earth at KMS speeds.

Thanks Mr. Voyager! Have a nice travel!

It's a good Lemmy app too. Has nearly all the features my favorite reddit app had (Relay).
My only complaint is that the app makes unintentional taps too easy. On far too many occasions I accidentally go to a community or a user's profile when I'm trying to get to the comments. It would be nice to have a tablet mode too.

Living my dream.

Where is it going?
-
Where no man has gone before . . . boldly.
-
Into that good night.

into the abyss of nothingness

Too bad I missed that ride

Both of them!
