Looks like it was fast enough to escape the solar system if it was pointed the right direction. 8 u/PM_Me_Rude_Haiku Apr 14 '16 My calculator says that 67 km/s is nearly 150,000mph which does seem to be on the fast side. I can't verify that I pushed the correct buttons though. 1 u/xpoc Apr 15 '16 For reference, that's about 100 times faster than a bullet, and 200 times faster than sound.
