I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph.

I know bullets can be fast, but they are not exactly everyday life (at least in my life).

I included mass for obvious relativistic reasons.

    Satellites are visible and move at some km per second. Pretty fast

    Inside the atmosphere anything faster than some hundreds km/h get so much drag that they either are extremely small (bullets) or extremely powerful (planes, maglev trains)
