Yeah, at one point I think it was going over 2 km/second.
I was kind of curious, but is the timing of all the events preprogrammed to take place, or does someone from NASA have to send a signal? I was also wondering what the ETA is for the first bit of data to be transmitted back to Earth and images generated for the public to see.
