How fast does a spaceship travel in Earth's orbit and is there a sense of speed? The international space station (taken as an example) orbits earth once every 92 minutes and travels at over 17,000 mph relative to the earths surface.
Imagine being chased by a 925,000-pound machine traveling at 17,500 miles per hour. That's what's happens when astronauts dock with the International Space Station. Surprisingly though, the process can take a lot longer than you'd think. Although a rocket can transport astronauts into space in less than 10 minutes, it takes hours, and even days, to rendezvous with the International Space Station.
