What is the fastest speed ever reached in space travel as measured from the point in space from which it was launched to its current/final position? Answers.com lists the New Horizons to have the fastest rocket. Is this info still valid? 7 light hours in 11 years at 50,000 km/h?

It was there to whiz past the Moon and take a few pictures as it went. It completed the journey in only 36 hours, traveling at a speed of 10,500 kilometers per hour.
