October 2, 2001 ~ 67,000 mph

The Earth is hurtling through space at about 67,000 miles per hour; plus, it is spinning (at the equator) at just over 1000 miles per hour.

At any given moment, you are traveling somewhere between 66,000 and 68,000 miles per hour.

Have a nice day!

(And be sure to feel thankful for gravity)

"Sometimes I feel like I am walking through life with a thought bubble over my head- a big, fluffy white bubble with a heart inside, broadcasting my preoccupation."
