I need it Miles per hour.. Thanks

1 nanometer / hour, or even less.
Now if it's orbital velocity, then it's around 28.000 km / hour.
Escape velocity? It's around 40.000 km / hour.

In theory, you could leave the Earth's atmosphere by climbing a very long ladder! Technicaly, space starts at 100 km altitude and some of the X-Plane pilots went above this altitude, including Neil Armstrong. The highest speed they achieved was 4,520 miles per hour. The lowest stable orbit is at 185 km (about 115 miles) and you'd need to be travelling at a bit over 17,500 mph.

You're asking about the escape velocity.
In the case of Earth, that's 6.98 miles /second. I'll leave you to calculate the mph (6.98 x 60 x 60)

for a space ship to stay in the earths orbit it needs to stay and sly at 17,500 mph so to break the earths atosphere is 17,000 and up.

17,500 mph to achieve orbit
25,000 mph to achieve escape from earth's gravity.

Are you on drugs? you must work for bankers or lawyers, nothing better to think of.
