Currently where you are is on a huge globe with a relatively thin crust of stone, containing fire in its bowels, rotating on its own slightly tilted axis at 1, 000 miles per hour in an easterly direction while simultaneously traveling in orbit around an enormous ball of burning hydrogen, 93, 000, 000 miles away at 66, 000 miles per hour. That’s 66, 000 miles per hour, or nineteen miles per second, which is much faster that you’ve maybe ever imagined, and means that you will be traveling nearly 60, 000, 000 miles this coming year. Beauty is, you don’t have to imagine it, you can feel it instead. And if you want to know what it’s like, simply stop. Be still, and in that stillness, whatever you are feeling in your belly: that’s it. this is what it feels like to go 66, 000 miles per hour while spinning at one thousand. Stephen Russell
About This Quote

You are living on a giant spinning sphere that is traveling through space at 66,000 miles per hour. We all know that the Earth is about 11,000 years old, but what many people do not know is that the Earth is also spinning. At 1,000 miles per hour, this sphere travels around the sun at 66,000 miles per hour. This means that each day it goes around the sun you are traveling 66,000 miles. How far do you think you will travel completely around the globe in one year?
