The name for a partner who is involved in a queerplatonic relationship, as in he's my zucchini.
Curiosity, a rover that's exploring Mars as of 2014, has a top ground speed of 1.5 inches per second, or about 0.1 mph. Curiosity landed on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012.
Falling deep into its gravity well will accelerate Juno to a velocity of about 160,000 miles per hour relative to the planet, before it can swing by, drop speed, and get into its mission orbit. In 2018 though, a new NASA mission â Solar Probe Plus â will be launched. Designed to come as close as 8.5 solar radii to the Sun (thatâs about about 5.9 million kilometers or 3.7 million miles), it will hit orbital velocities as high as 200 kilometers a second (450,000 miles an hour).
