Did you know that ..... ?

What is most impressive is not only the speed, but also the ship's ability to withstand heat in extreme environments like the corona – that is a breakthrough in material technology.
 
I remember this being the probe on which you could get your name loaded in a chip mounted on it. I believe my name is also on it. So cool.
I think that was done during Mars Persevrance Rover launch. https://mars.nasa.gov/layout/embed/send-your-name/mars2020/certificate/?cn=5299
 
Did you know that On 24 July 1938, the first popular brand of instant coffee, Nescafe, appeared on the market.
 
The Parker Solar Probe is the fastest object ever built by man.
It flew through the solar corona late last December at 190.7 kilometers per second.

Sometimes it gets scary when you start to realize what level space technology has reached. To withstand that kind of temperature, to reach that kind of speed without burning up. Too bad for the astronaut, he would have been very hot.
I honestly didn`t know about this. This is quite interesting.

Absolutely wild, right? The fact that we’ve built something that fast and tough enough to survive the Sun’s heat, is mind-blowing. Imagine the view... if only it were safe for humans!

What's interesting is that the hardware is still in working order!
