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.
1 1 light-year is 5.8 trillion miles and the maximum speed of a NASA Space Shuttle is 17,500 miles per hour. 2  The fastest unmanned space craft traveled 157,000 mph. 3  At that rate, there and back would take only 8,500 earth years. 4  So if you were a Mesopotamian farmer in 6,500 BC, you'd be getting home right about now.
