How many footballers would it take to match Hera's speed? ⚽🚀 https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/b3762a36-81c0-4124-951d-d510197c08d6 How many top strikers, all kicking at exactly the same moment, would it take to match the speed of our Hera asteroid mission? The team at @RBLeipzig decided to find out. Speed in space depends on what you're comparing it to. But line the Hera spacecraft up next to a football, moving in the same straight line, and it's travelling at around 8 kilometres per second. Conrad Harder's fastest recorded shot, by comparison, was 123 km/h. That's just 0.034 kilometres per second. Who (or what) else would you like to see challenge Hera here on Earth? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned for more challenges! 📹 European Space Agency (ESA) #ESA #Football #HeraMission Sun, 26 Jul 2026 07:29:33 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://xcdr.tv How many footballers would it take to match Hera's speed? ⚽🚀 https://xcdr.tv/lazy-static/avatars/d7ff3488-9036-438f-95d1-547afee4fcf4.png https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/b3762a36-81c0-4124-951d-d510197c08d6 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://xcdr.tv/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
