The Accidental Voyage of the Fastest Man-Made Object: 50 Years and it is Still Missing
5 Decades ago a man-made object was propelled through the atmosphere, to who knows where, faster than any other article – ever.
This thing was traveling so rapidly, nobody even saw it go, and nobody knows wear it is now. Might be somewhere here on earth, might be in orbit, might even be on its merry way though the cosmos like the voyager space probes. But it’s not communicating to anyone where it’s going, or if it will ever come back.
What is this thing? You might ask.
A muscle car.
A dragster.
A fighter jet.
A missal.
A bullet.
Nope – Nope – Nope, Nope, & Nope.
