Gee, that's an easy one! The shuttle or anything in low earth orbit has to travel about 17,500 miles per hour, and that is roughly ten times the speed of a rifle bullet. If you think a rifle bullet is moving fast -- just imagine the orbiter.It's moving about ten times that speed.So that should give you some idea.he shuttle or anything in low earth orbit has to travel about 17,500 miles per hour, and that is roughly ten times the speed of a rifle bullet.
