      We have developed many vehicles that allow us to experience very fast speeds. The fastest a human has ever travelled in a vehicle was during the re-entry of the Apollo Lunar Module to Earth, which reached a whopping speed of 24,791 miles per hour! And that was way back in 1969!

      Unfortunately, humans are bound by physical limits that mean our bodies can only run so fast, and unless we want to replace our limbs with artificial ones designed to make us faster, I think we’re stuck with what we’ve got!
