According to [https://www.space.com/41447-parker-solar-probe-fastest-spacecraft-ever.html space.com] the fastest spacecraft ever will be the {{w|Parker Solar Probe}} which will reach 430,000 mph (692,000 km/h) as it reaches its closest point orbiting the sun. This is just over half of 1% of the needed speed of the Alpha Centauri vehicle proposed in the comic. The {{w|Voyager 1| Voyager 1 spacecraft}}, launched in 1977, is currently traveling at about 38,000 mph (61,000 km/h). | According to [https://www.space.com/41447-parker-solar-probe-fastest-spacecraft-ever.html space.com] the fastest spacecraft ever will be the {{w|Parker Solar Probe}} which will reach 430,000 mph (692,000 km/h) as it reaches its closest point orbiting the sun.
