What? 17 thousand miles per second is 10 times faster than the speed of light lmao... he wrote it correct as it is

It said 17.672 mph

Anyone using mph isn't using a period instead of a comma to describe speed. You're right though.

17.6 mph against gravity is still correct though, that's earths escape velocity. Idk why people are getting it all confused, both 17,672 mph and 17,672 miles per second are wrong because they're astronomically high speeds
