I cannot even grasp the concept of something traveling at 11 million miles per hour. That's is incredible. That's nearly the speed of light and breaks the sound barrier. It's crazy to think of what a small scale the human brain focuses in on. Like we travel such slow speeds that 200 miles per hour is quick. Iy reminds me of time. How hard 2 billion years is to actually comprehend when we only live for a blink on that type of scale. 100 years is optimistic for most. Scale really is so important.
RE: Objects in space are rather far away. The Moon is our closest celestial neighbor at nearly a quarter million miles from Earth, and the nearest star, our Sun, is 93 million miles away.
