Try and beat that Tom Brady!

Tom Brady already beat that.

Its hard to imagine how fast its going relative to the earth. What else goes that fast that i can understand?

football is only traveling the distance of the ISS. You might as well say if you toss a football west also travelling though universe
energ1ze
How much did it cost to get that football into space?

Back in my day, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile
xAllenatorx
This is a $10000 football

Pssh, let me know when you can do a pass to Alaris

No. Orbits, like the rotation of the earth, should not be measured in linear units. RPM exists for a reason, please use it, illiterate scum.

This Deflate gate thing is getting out of hand

Really though that's an impressive low g spiral

It was thrown by NASA astronaut and mission specialist "Uncle" Rico Dynamite.
Then they should have known better than to confuse linear and angular units.
illogidog
The brought that football up in a rocket just to make that? How much would that have cost?

That's not a fastball.

There's like no context that could make that not weird...

Ok, hit me with your best shot

Relativity... the speed of an object can only be determined when given a frame of reference. This is sort of cheating :p
shelldonmorebees
But by using relativity as your argument you have confirmed that from the Earth's frame of reference, they are correct. Works both ways ;)

Inb4: earth is orbiting the sun, which moving through the Milky Way , moving through the galaxy in speeds I can't comprehend
Oscill8s
And the galaxy is moving at crazy speeds relative to the microwave background radiation, the closest thing we have to a universal reference.

We need a gif of the opening scene of Malcolm in th middle S03E22. Right here and now!

At what point does relativity kick in so we no longer have an unbiased reference point for time?

There is no reference point since everything is relative to everything else. Hence, "theory of relativity"
ineffectual
Relativity has always "kicked in"; universal reference frames do not exist.
While that's true, we do have the cosmic microwave background, which is comes pretty close to a universal reference frame.

Good luck!
