The technique is relatively simple, with the spaceship staying locked in position and using gravity to anchor itself and the natural flow of space to propel it to move. Near-orbital space travel is the method in which spacecraft and objects lock themselves in the Earth's orbit and go along or ahead of the planet's speed. Near-orbital space is the fastest way to travel long distance on Earth!- Elon Musk December 8, 2020 Here, the CEO said that "near-orbital space is the fastest way" to travel a long journey on the planet.

Musk shows his fascination over the space station that stands its ground despite its long commission in orbit.Įlon Musk shared another tweet that replied to a video of the ISS that travels above Shanghai, China, to South Korea in seconds. The SpaceX chief has been dropping knowledge bombs to his followers and the public via his Twitter account, particularly with the International Space Station's out-of-this-world information, to which Dragons are docked.

Moreover, the rate is comparable to 25 times the speed of sound, one of the fastest measuring standards, 761 miles per hour. Musk added that the ISS is a fast vessel that travels ten times faster than a rifle bullet speed when fired, which ranges from 1,200 mph to 2,800 mph. It’s called the Space “Station”, but it’s actually moving around Earth at ~25 times the speed of sound or ~10 times faster than a rifle bullet- Elon Musk December 8, 2020

The space station joins the Earth as it orbits and moves around the Sun, even faster than the planet's rotational speed.

According to Elon Musk's Twitter post ( the ISS is called a "station," but the large haven for scientists who carry on research and Earth studies in space are continually moving and orbiting the Earth.
