💬 Quote of the Day
“It travels through space at the speeds around 10km/s, which is 10x faster than a bullet from a rifle”
— Garrett Reisman
🤔 Reflection Question
How painful would it be to get hit by that particle?
Hit reply — I’d love to hear your take.
🧠 Insight
'Particles traveling around 10 km/s in space are typically orbital debris (space junk) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or natural micrometeoroids, with debris averaging this speed due to Earth's orbit, while cosmic rays and solar wind particles move much faster (near light speed or high MeV energies), but can be slowed or directed by magnetic fields to speeds like 10 km/s when interacting with planetary atmospheres or belts.' Being hit by one of those things at that speed for sure doesn't feel like much at that same second it hits you but the consequences after it happens are the real pain cause. Human body must be collapsing from various reasons from that impact, internally and externally. This it the answer from google if you could survive that: 'No, you cannot survive being hit by a single particle at 10 km/s because even tiny particles at such extreme speeds carry immense kinetic energy, equivalent to a massive explosion, causing instant catastrophic damage, but a real-life example shows a scientist survived a beam of protons (many particles) at near light speed due to the particles passing through rather than hitting like a solid object, but still resulting in severe, life-altering injuries, so survival isn't the right word for such an event. '
