@@gelatinocyte6270 - warp drive is shortening the distance between two point. The planet express ship is not warping the distance just moving everything around it.
What's moving, and what's not, is simply a matter of perspective. There‘s this famous joke involving Einstein on a train: "excuse me, when does New York stop at this train?"...
Just for your information: your way of displaying "miles per second" m/s is actually the unit meters per second. So for me as a German who uses the metric system it is meters per second.
I use both imperial and metric. I will use either depending on what I'm using it for and who I'm using it with. In any case why wasn't the Discovery on that list. I mean the spore drive instantly moves the ship to any point in mapped space. But then is that speed of ship movement or the movement of space time?
i think m/s is meters per second around the world. manufacturers in countries with imperial system has been using mph instead of m/h for ages. that also confuses me at first. also there is c, which is the speed of light. I don't get why it's xL.
i feel it, i really feel it... it is 2020, and This is one of the most serious 1st world problem in 1st world. Why some people use miles ? Just use meters, i beg you...please...
Also Battlestar Galactica does not have a measured velocity recorded anywhere. It uses a fold drive system that joins 2 sections of space briefly in Planck time and the ship simply "appears" in another region of space. It's velocity is actually only limited by it's navigational systems. The Cylons navigation tech is FAR better and they can jump much faster, farther, and with incredible accuracy. In fact a Cylon Base Star's FTL is so advanced, it can jump from Caprica, to even Earth, and jump nose to nose within meters of an enemy Battlestar.
I just wanna mention for the star trek fans that a cochrane shuttle from star trek voyager was once upgraded in a way that allowed it to go at warp 10. In the star trek universe, this means that they were going so fast that they were everywhere in the universe all at once so technically the speed of the Cochrane shuttle is also infinite. It did have a side effect of causing you to become a lizard and nail the captain and lay eggs so there's that...
Thanks for saving me the time by pointing this one out. I watched that crappy video all the way to the end, waiting for the Delta Flyer to be mentioned. disappointed am I......
As previously mentioned it wasn't the Delta Flyer. The DF hadn't been built yet. And the whole side effect of knocking up you salamander captain with tadpole babies made people not want to mention it ever again.
Event Horizon has a gravity drive that folds space, so essentially has infinite speed as well, and since it's one of the coolest ship designs, I suggest adding it here.
Star Trek Discovery with the mycelial drive and the Invictus from the new Foundation series also fold space to achieve nearly instantaneous travel. This video is not accurate.
@@jackc7162 Discovery still has to move.... Folds don't have to move. @c4tubo by this thought the Back to the future DeLorean is even faster than the Event Horizon. Since it can traverse distance without having to move through time at all.
@@jimmyofthesea1883 Travelling back in time by even a single second without compensating for external motion like planetary rotation, galactic orbit, solar orbit, and the universe's expansion would leave the Delorean in the emptiness of space. You can quibble about Newtonian versus quantum motion, but folding to move a ship billions of kilometers qualifies as motion and speed.
The delorean actually runs on a factory internal combustion engine, even said so in the 3rd movie, Mr fusion just powers the time drive, not the ability of the car to move, was kinda the entire plot of the 3rd movie in fact.

@@milescoburn1845 Honestly it probably wouldn't take much to change that. One show that dealt with that notion to some extent was called 7 Days. The Roswell crash had imparted the government with a great deal of alien tech, and only in modern times had any of it been really made use of. They couldn't get the interstellar drive to work, but they did accidentally make a time machine out of it. Instead of moving the ship faster than light, their drive moved it backward through time at a rate equal to that of its travel through space (roughly). So, it would seem to outside observers as if the thing had practically teleported, and since it traveled close to the speed of light in normal space otherwise, time dilation would make the trip feel instantaneous to the occupants, as well. . But, they couldn't figure it out in the show, and only managed limited time travel 7 days into the past. . It should be possible to do something similar with the Flux Capacitor.
Yeah But still infinite speed is impossible Because at those speeds? SPACE ITSELF is causing friction So basicly at that speeds it's impossible So yeah I call it the Vacuum Limit

It's not the same for Star Trek ships, though. In the Roddenberry Timeline, the warp nacelles provide the warp field, while the Impulse engines provide the propulsion. In The Kelvin Timeline, the Nacelles provide both warp field and propulsion at FTL. The Impulse engines power down before they go to warp.
Wait a second .... how can the Cyclon Raider from Battlestar have an FTL drive and be in the slower than light speed category because FTL stands for faster than light ?
Plus the Cylon Raider doesn't have an FTL drive at all. The _Heavy_ Raider does (the troop ship), but not the fighter. Same problem with the TIE Fighter. Standard TIEs don't have hyperdrives, and the speed listed isn't realistic usable speed, just a theoretical top speed, out of atmosphere, in a straight line until they run out of fuel.
@@Xantosh82 Voyager is not trans-WARP compatible. they use Trans-WARP coils but first they steal them from the Borg and second the trans-warp network is maintained artificially by the borg. This is the same problem as the Daedalus in the stargate, which in 2-3 days can pass between the pegasus galaxy and the milky way, and it flies so fast that the road that the voyager took in 7 years, use Daedalus abbreviations in 1 day ... but !!! it requires the MPZ module impossible advanced source of ancient energy that only the ancients could create and which MAX 30 was hidden in both galaxies.
I was just going to comment the same thing. The Navigators fold space, making two points in space occupy the same point, thereby not even actually moving.
The book and the movie differ in this point. The Navigators predict the path between locations so that there is no objects in the path of the thrust so that the speed can be achieved without destroying the ship. It was like the Nav computer on the Falcon or other hyperdrive ships.

@@jasonwalter2924 They utilized the holtzman engines to achieve instant acceleration to light speed seeming to be in two places at once. "folding space" or travelling - whether it is intended to be read as simply 'speeding up' or somehow teleporting - is not done by navigators nor spice. Navigators steer the course, thread it, etc. using prescient abilities - a 'linear prescience', a focus on the safe path prior to engaging the Holtzman engines to move. They did have to travel, move, traverse through space between one location and the destination thus needing the Navigators from Ix to predict the safest moment or path to engage the engines.
@@MurpheeLaw agreed. also m/s for miles per second...wtf...also the ENterprise_D is NOT faster than the ISD at FTL speeds...neither is the Intrepid CLass like the USS Voyager, UNLESS you count when Voyager used the Slipstream Drive...because Hyperdrive speeds are clsoer to star trek's transwarp speeds...
It's weird to say that the Galactica has an FTL speed since the FTLs in the BSG universe don't make the ship go fast, they just fold space in half and poke a hole through point A and B and send the ship through that (which is essentially just teleporting the ship from one point to another without any change in speed).

It doesn't accelerate the ship, it instantaneously teleports it from one point to another with no change in its speed.
It isn't possibly to include every fictional ship from every sci fi series. I have been reading The Lost Starship series and it didn't include Starship Victory either but so what. They did a great job amassing these ships for comparison.

@@LoT945 I would be a similar age to you but have to say that's not my experience. We use a hotch-potch of imperial and metric both on and off the road. In a way this is good because it means most people are unit-bilingual in the UK. Metric is used in law, but imperial measurements are more common in day-to-day and informal conversation. E.g. petrol is sold by the litre, but we then talk about how many mpg the vehicle does. Describing someone's height or weight people only use metric if metric is required for it (e.g. plugging it into a BMI calculator) and I've never heard someone ask for half a litre of beer. The weirdest one I think is that when buying meat at a butcher the price will usually be per kg but people order in lbs. I found that when I lived in London and I find it the same out here in the sticks, so it isn't a city/country thing.
@@SwitchRhythm Like the late Robin Williams once said "I programmed the lander in meters, but did the calculations in feet. Instead of landing, the f*er buried. S*it!"
The rockets themselves travelled at different speeds due to their weight differences. For example the Apollo 10 Saturn V set the speed record for a crewed vehicle.
Also the very high speed shown in the video (24,800mph) were achieved not by the Saturn V rocket but by the combined Command Service and Lunar Modules during their transfers between Moon and Earth orbits (on the return trip). The Saturn Vs were only required to escape Earth and reach Earth orbit.
i wish this was in metric, "m/s" has always been metres per second, and the commonly accepted variable for the speed of light is "c". the future is metric!
The Death Star has SUB-light Engines but can travel 1.1 million times the speed of light, SUB-light meaning under the speed of light. Clearly it has some other type of engines to reach multiple times the speed of light.

Whenever a European sees the American Imperial units , they start whining about Americans and their usage of the imperial units. While when an American sees a metric usage he/she simply asks for the conversion. It looks like it is the Europeans who can NOT handle the American presence at all. Because, obviously they can't whine about the Britishit using their Imperial system, EVER? Why? Are you afraid of that the Brits will mock you with their hilarious jokes?
@@squidproquo2241 I dont think he complains about the System itself but rather about the use in the video. E.g. I highly doubt that Apollo 11 flew with a speed of 6.68m/s. Converted to mph it would be about 15 mph or 24kph which is plain wrong. This adds up to the rest of the video.

He doesn't have a problem with the system That's fine. Then, anyone can easily realize that if you are using different systems you have to make a conversion. This chap in the video seems to use m/second instead km/second. 1- What this has anything to do with handling the metric system? 2- What this has anything to do with being an American? So, in his defense, you say that his complain is more about the conversion mistake than the system itself. However, my take on his complaint is rather his focus on the origins of the video uploader than the system itself. If, the uploader would have been a britishit, and if he knew that the uploader was a Britihist, he simply would have sucked up and ate his urge to expose a mistake and even more he would have not even imagine mocking the uploader. And, this would be absolutely true, ESPECIALLY, if, he himself is an arrogant and ignorant biritishit to his bone marrow. if he said that, "the uploader (without mentioning the name American) seem like can;t handle the conversion between imperial and metric systems." That would have been far less arrogant and far less offensive. So, yes, his problem is with Americans not with the systems, however, his reflection on that problem is via the difference between the systems. Hence my response. FYI; 6.68 km/s = 14943 mph. If he could have the proper ethics to digest the knowledge he had, instead of being an asshole about it, he could have posted a comment saying that all the m/s units should be replaced with km/s, by respectfully informing the uploader about this at the same time. Also, just notice that the uploader is not using the m/s notation for meter per second, but he is using it for MILES PER SECOND and it is given at the top of the video. 6.68 Miles per second = 24048 miles per hour.

Topic is "Fastest Spaceships" and Michael Kaer is correct to a large degree. Technically it is a: Star Trek - Federation Type 9 - Class 2 shuttle with Adapted Transwarp Drive that broke the Warp 10 barrier. Warp 10: Infinite velocity!

There’s a similar situation with ships in Warhammer 40k. There are times where they’ll arrive 10 minutes before they left, or millennia after. Because Warp.

@@Phillv8 no, she still powered the wheels with the gas engine. They never explain what powers the flight unit, but it is tied somehow to the combustion engine. The mr fusion was used to replace the need for uranium for the nuclear reactor that only powered the time circuits. This is all covered in part three and why they had to push it with the train.
Back to the Future 3 proved internal engine is still needed to make the car move. Watch the scene where Marty tries to start the car while Doc pours in strong drink, and ends up blowing up something.
Hmmm, That realization when the navigators look like amphibians. As did the star trek voyager navigator after reaching warp ten. He also felt like he could go, and be everywhere instantly.
this video is kinda eh on its "facts" they mentioned the Deathstar's maneuvering engines but ignore the "fact" that it has a hyperdrive like damn near every other vessel in star wars
"Star Wars" folklore uses "sublight" with a different meaning than we use it. It refers to the "subspace", so a sublight engine would work in subspace. The idea is that, if the space is "sub", then travelling in it is always "super", or something like that. It's completely made up, so, who knows what the writers really meant.
The Asgard ships in Stargate are substantially faster than the Daedlus class ship It went from a entirely different galaxy back to the milky way while towing the Daedlus in five seconds
I don't care if some of the speeds are off as the comments argue, I just love that Spaceballs was here, Last Starfighter, and Max from Flight of the Navigator. Thanks for the obscure ones!
Ask any Trekkie and they'll tell you that a Borg Cube uses a trans-warp drive. It's mentioned multiple times in Star Trek: Voyager. Also, the Heart of Gold uses an Infinite Improbability engine, as opposed to a Finite Improbability engine. I'd love to see a remake of this with newer ships, like the USS Discovery (Star Trek: Discovery) and The Orville.
If the Borg are so fast, how come the Enterprise-D was able to run away in the first encounter? The chase scene shows the two vessels basically equal in speed .
As soon as you said "every" sci-fi series, I *knew* The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy would be number one. Had a fair idea the Tardis would be second too.
Not read it for years, but didn't the Bistromath make the Heart of Gold seem like an electric pram? Sounds faster, and you get to have a nice meal while travelling.
The Delta Flyer from Star Trek Voyager should be on first place as well because it had reached Warp 10 which means being everywhere at the same time. So infinite Speed.

Wonder if that means you can travel downwards through the shaft of time but you cannot go back up through the abyss of space, from where you originated from...?
To understand this video use the following translations: m = mile and m/s = miles per second. , (Note that in most of the world, including the USA, "m/s" = meters per second). Secondly, "m/h" = miles per hour (or MPH in the USA) Now that you know what the strange units mean you can enjoy the video.
Missing a few ships here. I miss atlantis. The city of the ancients. And i miss destiny. Also miss the x303 promotheos. All are stargate ships. The stargate ships are ammong the fastest taking the ships in to subspace with hyperdrive engines.
Yeah. Shit, the Daedalus isn't even using the best Asguard driver, since Asguard ships and Ancient ships can go from Pegasus and the Milkyway in a few days, instead 6. And that Wraith Hive with a ZPM did it in a day.
40K technically has the fastest ships but it's super random, in the lore due to warp fuckery ships can arrive hundred of years late or even chronologically before they left.
Can't stand anything WH. The whole thing reminds me of a kid I knew in Jr High...when we were all playing Battletech and he "invented" a 1,000,000 ft tall 'mech made of pure energy that could alter its form pretty much without limit, at will, had regenerative shields, and could fire the equivalent of multiple capital ship PPC blasts from any point on its body.
And the TARDIS is still going to beat them, because it can target both the "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" as stated in the name. Thus while the 40k ships MIGHT arrive before they left, the TARDIS can do so at will.
One thing you've forgotten is that most SciFi geeks are sticklers for detail. "L" for light speed? Try "c". Also, if you're referring to craft that go faster than light, you ought to be quoting the FTL drive component not the sub-light engines. For example an Imperial Star Destroyer may well have ion engines, but these don't have FTL capability, which is likely to the universal Star Wars universe "Hyperdrive". Borg Cube used Transwarp, but not in normal space, in which they were only slightly faster than Federation vessels. Too many errors in this video to get an up-vote from me, unfortunately.
Not to mention that it is listed in the Slower than Light Speed, even though it lists the drive as FTL,..which literally means Faster Than Light. A little confusing. Pretty sure they had jump capability.
@@SirAntoniousBlock well, Buy n' Large has large ships, why not "large" speed? But I agree with you. They could just use some high efficient sublightspeed thrusters. Edit: May they would go Interstellar if earth is like inhabitable forever. And not to be thousand years or so in space, you just have a fcking fast ship and could find a new earth pretty fast.
The Borg cube uses a transwarp drive, which rates it at a speed faster than the warp 10 threshold of the star Trek warp speeds ( warp 10 being the fastest a ship is theoretically possible to travel at, it is stated in star trek voyager that warp 10 is the speed at where a ship is everywhere at all times, also transwarp is faster than voyager by about 10 times)
If the Borg are so fast, how come the Enterprise-D was able to run away in the first encounter? The chase scene shows the two vessels basically equal in speed .
@@dbeckley43 right. Which is opened by a transwarp drive, isn't it? I know there's a network of conduits and a hub, but don't you need a specific engine/tech to open them? It's been a LOOONG time since I saw Endgame (the original Endgame).
Some errors which I spotted. 1. When talking about distance, 'm' usually denotes Meter, not Mile. 2. The Space Shuttle and the Space Launch System use pretty much identical engines, the RS-25 from Aerojet Rocketdyne and the SRBs. The orbital maneuvering engines are however different from those that will be used in the crewed section of SLS - called Orion. 3. The Saturn V used to carry Apollo 11 to the Moon only used the Rocketdyne F-1 engines for it's first stage, which only carried it to 38 miles high, not even to Space yet alone to the high reentry speeds listed. 4. The TIE Fighter image shown is not of the standard TIE Fighter, but of the TIE Advanced V1, which had a hyperdrive and could go much faster than the sublight speeds listed. 5. The Borg Cube's engines were of Transwarp-drive class. 6. The DS-1 Death Star was equipped with not only sublight engines, but also a class 4 hyperdrive and a backup class 20 hyperdrive. 7. The Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer was equipped with a hyperdrive in addition to the listed Ion drives. The same goes for the Slave I.
You forgot The Delta Flyer piloted by Tom Paris using the transwarp drive they only talk about in that one episode because it interfered with the plot later on in Voyage, that ship in that episode is up there with the Heart Of Gold.
think of light spd as the limit for normal space, so at light spd, ur moving through space at max spd while not moving through time at all so it is as if time spot for so u can move form point A to point B instantly from your point of view so it like being at any place at all place at the same time. at warp10 which is the spd he reach, is like reach the spd limit for that layer of subspace so it also have the same effect as reaching light sped in normal space. they nvr really said what is the spd of warp 10 is at though.
You were off on the speeds of the Starfleet (Star Trek) vessels. There were actually 2 charts in ST history. The first used during the TOS era had warp factors (WF) being the WF rating cubed times the speed of light. Thus the 1701 which at times broke WF 9 was traveling over 720x the speed of light. The 1701-D reached a max speed of WF 9.7 under the updated Cochrane system which translated to 1900 x the speed of light. Voyager was smaller but had a similar speed rating.
Forgot the USS Vengeance, Star Trek Kelvin Timeline. "Dreadnought-class: two times the size, three times the speed, advanced weaponry, modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels it's built solely for combat." -Khan, 2259
Should have used the Odyssey for Stargate. It has a ZPM at all times and from what I've read increases its hyperdrive speed to about 5x that of a Daedalus class without a ZPM. Hell the Asgard ships are clocked in at tens to hundreds of billions of times light speed.
Agreed, I think an O'Neill Class Asgard warship is one of the fastest (non-instantaneous jumping) space vessels in all of science fiction. The only thing faster that comes to mind is a Traveler assisted Enterprise D, but that was only a temporary upgrade.
The Planet Express Ship actually does 0mph, the Dark Matter Reactor moves the universe not the ship.

Also Battlestar Galactica does not have a measured velocity recorded anywhere. It uses a fold drive system that joins 2 sections of space briefly in Planck time and the ship simply "appears" in another region of space.
It's velocity is actually only limited by it's navigational systems. The Cylons navigation tech is FAR better and they can jump much faster, farther, and with incredible accuracy.
In fact a Cylon Base Star's FTL is so advanced, it can jump from Caprica, to even Earth, and jump nose to nose within meters of an enemy Battlestar.

I just wanna mention for the star trek fans that a cochrane shuttle from star trek voyager was once upgraded in a way that allowed it to go at warp 10. In the star trek universe, this means that they were going so fast that they were everywhere in the universe all at once so technically the speed of the Cochrane shuttle is also infinite. It did have a side effect of causing you to become a lizard and nail the captain and lay eggs so there's that...
Thanks for saving me the time by pointing this one out. I watched that crappy video all the way to the end, waiting for the Delta Flyer to be mentioned. disappointed am I......
It wasn´t the Delta Flyer, it was a Cochrane Shuttle. The worst episode of all Star Trek series. The Delta Flyer wasn´t in the show at that time.
As previously mentioned it wasn't the Delta Flyer. The DF hadn't been built yet. And the whole side effect of knocking up you salamander captain with tadpole babies made people not want to mention it ever again.

Event Horizon has a gravity drive that folds space, so essentially has infinite speed as well, and since it's one of the coolest ship designs, I suggest adding it here.
also, Spacing Guild Heighliner. Travel time to anywhere = 0.
Star Trek Discovery with the mycelial drive and the Invictus from the new Foundation series also fold space to achieve nearly instantaneous travel. This video is not accurate.
@@jackc7162 Discovery still has to move.... Folds don't have to move.
@c4tubo by this thought the Back to the future DeLorean is even faster than the Event Horizon. Since it can traverse distance without having to move through time at all.
Displacement has no velocity, since the time metric is zero there is no measurable quality to it beyond the distance. It isn't infinite, it just is.
@@jimmyofthesea1883 Travelling back in time by even a single second without compensating for external motion like planetary rotation, galactic orbit, solar orbit, and the universe's expansion would leave the Delorean in the emptiness of space.
You can quibble about Newtonian versus quantum motion, but folding to move a ship billions of kilometers qualifies as motion and speed.

The delorean actually runs on a factory internal combustion engine, even said so in the 3rd movie, Mr fusion just powers the time drive, not the ability of the car to move, was kinda the entire plot of the 3rd movie in fact.
Mr Fusion runs the flying system though.
It also doesn't travel through space. Only time (except MAYBE at the end of the third movie).

@@michaelhamilton6553 I think he omitted the flying system because it wasn't working.
@@milescoburn1845 Honestly it probably wouldn't take much to change that. One show that dealt with that notion to some extent was called 7 Days. The Roswell crash had imparted the government with a great deal of alien tech, and only in modern times had any of it been really made use of. They couldn't get the interstellar drive to work, but they did accidentally make a time machine out of it. Instead of moving the ship faster than light, their drive moved it backward through time at a rate equal to that of its travel through space (roughly). So, it would seem to outside observers as if the thing had practically teleported, and since it traveled close to the speed of light in normal space otherwise, time dilation would make the trip feel instantaneous to the occupants, as well.
.
But, they couldn't figure it out in the show, and only managed limited time travel 7 days into the past.

It should be possible to do something similar with the Flux Capacitor.
Amazing! You included the Heart of Gold! That ship is usually forgotten in such lists...

Just a note on the Star Wars ships. The Ion Engines are their sublight propulsion. Their FTL is a Hyper-matter Reactor powered Hyperdrive.
@martin hunter No, from established Star Wars canon.
That mistake was made on many other ships too, listing their sublight engines instead of the hyperdrives.
@Red Elite Key word "pedia" They can be edited and therefore not always accurate, even Wikipedia.
It's not the same for Star Trek ships, though. In the Roddenberry Timeline, the warp nacelles provide the warp field, while the Impulse engines provide the propulsion. In The Kelvin Timeline, the Nacelles provide both warp field and propulsion at FTL. The Impulse engines power down before they go to warp.
Wait a second .... how can the Cyclon Raider from Battlestar have an FTL drive and be in the slower than light speed category because FTL stands for faster than light ?
Was thinking the same thing.
better question, why is the Voyager so low on the list, have they never heard of Transwarp?
Plus the Cylon Raider doesn't have an FTL drive at all. The _Heavy_ Raider does (the troop ship), but not the fighter.
Same problem with the TIE Fighter. Standard TIEs don't have hyperdrives, and the speed listed isn't realistic usable speed, just a theoretical top speed, out of atmosphere, in a straight line until they run out of fuel.
@@Xantosh82 I think they're just going with standard equipment. Voyager's transwarp drive was experimental.
@@Xantosh82 Voyager is not trans-WARP compatible. they use Trans-WARP coils but first they steal them from the Borg and second the trans-warp network is maintained artificially by the borg.

Dune Heighliners tie with the Improbability Drive. They have no stated speed limit, and can essentially get from anywhere to anywhere instantly
I was just going to comment the same thing. The Navigators fold space, making two points in space occupy the same point, thereby not even actually moving.
The book and the movie differ in this point. The Navigators predict the path between locations so that there is no objects in the path of the thrust so that the speed can be achieved without destroying the ship. It was like the Nav computer on the Falcon or other hyperdrive ships.
@@daleesi1257 I haven't read Dune in a while, but I have read it a couple times and I could have sworn they stated the highliners did not actually move themselves in a physical sense.
@@jasonwalter2924 They utilized the holtzman engines to achieve instant acceleration to light speed seeming to be in two places at once. "folding space" or travelling - whether it is intended to be read as simply 'speeding up' or somehow teleporting - is not done by navigators nor spice. Navigators steer the course, thread it, etc. using prescient abilities - a 'linear prescience', a focus on the safe path prior to engaging the Holtzman engines to move. They did have to travel, move, traverse through space between one location and the destination thus needing the Navigators from Ix to predict the safest moment or path to engage the engines.
Thats improbable.
Borg Cube has a Transwarp Drive.
Indeed it does I commented on that when I watched the video, glad some one already noticed
Yeah also the Enterprise E has around Warp 9,985 which is around 5800x lightspeed. And the Borg Transwarp speed is 20 Times faster

It's weird to say that the Galactica has an FTL speed since the FTLs in the BSG universe don't make the ship go fast, they just fold space in half and poke a hole through point A and B and send the ship through that (which is essentially just teleporting the ship from one point to another without any change in speed).

1. Galactica took four years to *FIND* Earth, a planet that was, at the beginning of the series, little more than a legend. We have no idea what the total distance they covered was or if they were even in the same galaxy by the end of the show.
2. It's FTL not being fast is sort of my point. It doesn't accelerate the ship, it instantaneously teleports it from one point to another with no change in its speed.

Please use "mi" for mile. The rest of the non UK and US territories thought those spaceships were really slow. "m" is internationally used for meters.
these speeds only make sense in america, uk is mostly metric, only road signs remain, i was only taught metric in school in the 90s
Canadian here was going to tell you your converstion of metres per second didn't add up to your miles per hour. haha
@@LoT945 I would be a similar age to you but have to say that's not my experience. We use a hotch-potch of imperial and metric both on and off the road. In a way this is good because it means most people are unit-bilingual in the UK. Metric is used in law, but imperial measurements are more common in day-to-day and informal conversation. E.g. petrol is sold by the litre, but we then talk about how many mpg the vehicle does. Describing someone's height or weight people only use metric if metric is required for it (e.g. plugging it into a BMI calculator) and I've never heard someone ask for half a litre of beer. The weirdest one I think is that when buying meat at a butcher the price will usually be per kg but people order in lbs.
I found that when I lived in London and I find it the same out here in the sticks, so it isn't a city/country thing.
No one even uses the imperial system when describing speed / distance in space. Mars Climate Orbiter anyone?

Thanks for making the writing so large and easy to read!
Apollo 11 was just the name of the 1st moon mission, it was not the name of the rocket, the rocket was called Saturn V
The rockets themselves travelled at different speeds due to their weight differences. For example the Apollo 10 Saturn V set the speed record for a crewed vehicle.
Also the very high speed shown in the video (24,800mph) were achieved not by the Saturn V rocket but by the combined Command Service and Lunar Modules during their transfers between Moon and Earth orbits (on the return trip). The Saturn Vs were only required to escape Earth and reach Earth orbit.
It did use the F1 engine though, but also the J2 and SPS engines.
Homie, I made it 27 seconds before I hit pause and looked at comments. Never going to start again.
Man never walked on the moon
i wish this was in metric, "m/s" has always been metres per second, and the commonly accepted variable for the speed of light is "c". the future is metric!
The Death Star has SUB-light Engines but can travel 1.1 million times the speed of light, SUB-light meaning under the speed of light. Clearly it has some other type of engines to reach multiple times the speed of light.
Yea it has a hyper drive
Awesome. “Liquid Schwartz” Classic.
I didn't know Samus's ship could hit that speed in reverse.
I was about to say, they got that ship backwards!

@@squidproquo2241 I dont think he complains about the System itself but rather about the use in the video. E.g. I highly doubt that Apollo 11 flew with a speed of 6.68m/s. Converted to mph it would be about 15 mph or 24kph which is plain wrong. This adds up to the rest of the video.

OK! Let's try to figure this out. He doesn't have a problem with the system That's fine. Then, anyone can easily realize that if you are using different systems you have to make a conversion. This chap in the video seems to use m/second instead km/second.
1- What this has anything to do with handling the metric system?
2- What this has anything to do with being an American?
So, in his defense, you say that his complain is more about the conversion mistake than the system itself.
However, my take on his complaint is rather his focus on the origins of the video uploader than the system itself. If, the uploader would have been a britishit, and if he knew that the uploader was a Britihist, he simply would have sucked up and ate his urge to expose a mistake and even more he would have not even imagine mocking the uploader. And, this would be absolutely true, ESPECIALLY, if, he himself is an arrogant and ignorant biritishit to his bone marrow.
if he said that, "the uploader (without mentioning the name American) seem like can;t handle the conversion between imperial and metric systems." That would have been far less arrogant and far less offensive.
So, yes, his problem is with Americans not with the systems, however, his reflection on that problem is via the difference between the systems. Hence my response.
FYI; 6.68 km/s = 14943 mph. If he could have the proper ethics to digest the knowledge he had, instead of being an asshole about it, he could have posted a comment saying that all the m/s units should be replaced with km/s, by respectfully informing the uploader about this at the same time.
Also, just notice that the uploader is not using the m/s notation for meter per second, but he is using it for MILES PER SECOND and it is given at the top of the video.
6.68 Miles per second = 24048 miles per hour.

this video is kinda eh on its "facts" they mentioned the Deathstar's maneuvering engines but ignore the "fact" that it has a hyperdrive like damn near every other vessel in star wars
"Star Wars" folklore uses "sublight" with a different meaning than we use it. It refers to the "subspace", so a sublight engine would work in subspace. The idea is that, if the space is "sub", then travelling in it is always "super", or something like that. It's completely made up, so, who knows what the writers really meant.

But no its ion engines are what make it move that fast
I mean the death star does have a class 4 hyperdrive though

Yes. Very few of these ships can travel between galaxies in just a few seconds
If the Daedalus has a better powerplant, it could use the hyperdrive's full potential.

Ask any Trekkie and they'll tell you that a Borg Cube uses a trans-warp drive. It's mentioned multiple times in Star Trek: Voyager. Also, the Heart of Gold uses an Infinite Improbability engine, as opposed to a Finite Improbability engine. I'd love to see a remake of this with newer ships, like the USS Discovery (Star Trek: Discovery) and The Orville.
Star trek spore is instantaneous. Orville dysonium drive does 86,000 ly/hr.
Borg cubes use transwarp drives. It’s actually pretty well defined and the technology is even adapted at times to be used in federation vessels.

++ for including spaceballs
Oh dear... "Samsu Gunship"? And it's flying backwards? xD Plus: The Borg use Trans Warp Conduits.
lol noticed that too but was happy it made the list as well as Serenity!
glad im not the only one to noticed it
After the Tardis I just knew what had to be tops. Well played.
Yeah but cant the Tardis arrive before it's even set off... same with the Delorean
Also isnt Voyger (Star Trek) fitted with a trans-warpdrive that allows them to be everywhere at once...
@@Zicetec2000 where was that explained because i dont remember ever see or hearing anything like that I mean without the help of Q or other Galactic entities
@@Zicetec2000 well played sir well played but then again the nature of the improbability drive means that anything no matter how improbable is possible for it to achieve. so no matter how fast any other vessel May travel there's always that slight probability that said improbability Drive would inevitably be faster then said vessel
It would have to be the TARDIS. It operates outside the normal constraints of space/time. Possibly the most powerful, too - it can tow planets.
You forgot the Displcement-Activated Spore Hub Drive! 😁
Exactly my dude star trek is the best
Probably the fastest lol
Only in another universe...
also dont forget Aeon timeship, earth to delta quadrant instantly both space and time
Tom Paris achieved infinite velocity in a shuttle in Star Trek btw
Problem with that was that Paris kidnapped Janeway before turning into salamanders and had a clutch of babies. That episode went downhill fast.
@@johnevans6084 On the bright side, at least it wasn't a "Fair Haven" episode.
I'm pretty sure the scifi community as a whole has decided to ignore that episode for good.
@@gamiensrule We don't ignore it...we remember it....because if you forget the past you are doomed to repeat it...and we never want repeat "Threshold"....
@@Jake-cm9jj True. Although, that episode was de-canonized in the same Star Trek series later on.
Star trek always best of all
The Event Horizon has a gravity drive that generates an artificial black hole that bridges two point in spacetime reducing travel time over astronomical distances. ⚛️🔄
Wonder if that means you can travel downwards through the shaft of time but you cannot go back up through the abyss of space, from where you originated from...?
@@mjag2834 I don't know but you may end up in hell.
@@JirkaGasik There are worse places than Eternal Darkness, vice and luxury in a Garden of Earthly Delights...like Inferno...
Yeah but it only goes to hell and back.
Heart Of Gold is so fast it arrives before it left
Ah thanks for including Stargate ships!
"Wow the Star Trek ships keep getting faster, I wonder what their next..."
CUBE
"Oh..."
Borg use a different propulsion system.
Mycellium spore drive - Starship Discovery
Where’s the space battleship Yamato (Argo)
Dragon12792 or the macross and it’s fold system lol
What the heck is space battleship yamato?
Joe Laton look up space battleship Yamato or star blazers on google
Just a fact. The SBY can jump 12 light years a day. That is 4,320c.
Faster than the voyager but slower than the borg cube.
good and informative work
The TARDIS is the fastest ship ever, why? It’s relative
I see what you did there ; )
Nice
To understand this video use the following translations: m = mile and m/s = miles per second. , (Note that in most of the world, including the USA, "m/s" = meters per second). Secondly, "m/h" = miles per hour (or MPH in the USA) Now that you know what the strange units mean you can enjoy the video.
now it make sense!
What does xL mean?
oh damn i was like i think your meter's per second is more then a bit off. bloody Americans with your outdated guesswork measurements
is it just me or did anyone else watch the whole thing just to make sure they included the heart of gold hahahaha
Oh gawd thank you for this. Meters per second translation was totally ducking me up.
Missing a few ships here. I miss atlantis. The city of the ancients. And i miss destiny. Also miss the x303 promotheos. All are stargate ships.
The stargate ships are ammong the fastest taking the ships in to subspace with hyperdrive engines.
Yeah. Shit, the Daedalus isn't even using the best Asguard driver, since Asguard ships and Ancient ships can go from Pegasus and the Milkyway in a few days, instead 6. And that Wraith Hive with a ZPM did it in a day.
Also they routinely leave a.d travel to other galaxies. Star trek /star wars haven't left their own galaxies
I'm sad there's been no new developments in the SG universe :(
"They've gone to plaid!" 🚀👽
Awesome, Comment!
You forgot to include "Dune". MOTION WITHOUT MOVING, SPACE FOLDING...
40K technically has the fastest ships but it's super random, in the lore due to warp fuckery ships can arrive hundred of years late or even chronologically before they left.
40K is so fucked lmao
Can't stand anything WH. The whole thing reminds me of a kid I knew in Jr High...when we were all playing Battletech and he "invented" a 1,000,000 ft tall 'mech made of pure energy that could alter its form pretty much without limit, at will, had regenerative shields, and could fire the equivalent of multiple capital ship PPC blasts from any point on its body.
thats not moving fast thats just taking a shortcut, so not technicly the fastest
And the TARDIS is still going to beat them, because it can target both the "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" as stated in the name. Thus while the 40k ships MIGHT arrive before they left, the TARDIS can do so at will.
I was thinking, "The Heart of Gold better be on this list!"
@bmhiscd1 you can it's just improbable that you would have the coordinates
One thing you've forgotten is that most SciFi geeks are sticklers for detail. "L" for light speed? Try "c". Also, if you're referring to craft that go faster than light, you ought to be quoting the FTL drive component not the sub-light engines. For example an Imperial Star Destroyer may well have ion engines, but these don't have FTL capability, which is likely to the universal Star Wars universe "Hyperdrive". Borg Cube used Transwarp, but not in normal space, in which they were only slightly faster than Federation vessels. Too many errors in this video to get an up-vote from me, unfortunately.
Just a quick note. The ship "Fireball" was actually "Fireball XL-5" :D
At 'Space Velocity 7'. XL5 was one of possibly 30 XL vessels. Good to see TB3 and Serenity in the list too!
"Cyclon" Raider? I Don't remember any "Cyclon" Raiders in _Battlestar Galactica._ I remember _Cylon_ Raiders, but not "Cyclon" ones.
I think they pulled from other iterations outside of the TV series?
Fat finger or auto correct.... geese. Really?
Cheap knockoff of a Cylon Raider. Made in Chyna or Teiwan.
Not to mention that it is listed in the Slower than Light Speed, even though it lists the drive as FTL,..which literally means Faster Than Light. A little confusing. Pretty sure they had jump capability.
The Axiom uses Independently articulated flick and flare boosters :)
Why does the Axiom need to be so fast? Isn't just a pleasure cruiser to hang around for 1,000 years or so until the earth is habitable again.
@@SirAntoniousBlock well, Buy n' Large has large ships, why not "large" speed? But I agree with you. They could just use some high efficient sublightspeed thrusters.
Edit: May they would go Interstellar if earth is like inhabitable forever. And not to be thousand years or so in space, you just have a fcking fast ship and could find a new earth pretty fast.
The Borg cube uses a transwarp drive, which rates it at a speed faster than the warp 10 threshold of the star Trek warp speeds ( warp 10 being the fastest a ship is theoretically possible to travel at, it is stated in star trek voyager that warp 10 is the speed at where a ship is everywhere at all times, also transwarp is faster than voyager by about 10 times)
If the Borg are so fast, how come the Enterprise-D was able to run away in the first encounter? The chase scene shows the two vessels basically equal in speed
.
You forgot the Jupiter 2 , the Space Pod from Lost in Space, the Eagles from Space 1999
I like the music at 1:16 and 2:13

Great video! Great comment section
The Battlestar Gallactica's engines are FTL.
The Borg Cube's engines are Transwarp Drive.
Yea and the speed given is way to slow, FTL is a jump drive system, takes Gallactica from point A a trillion miles away to point B instantly
The Borg use transwarp conduits
@@dbeckley43 right. Which is opened by a transwarp drive, isn't it? I know there's a network of conduits and a hub, but don't you need a specific engine/tech to open them? It's been a LOOONG time since I saw Endgame (the original Endgame).
Disco_Latitude Is there an alternate Voyager's Endgame?
@@marcosapereira no I was referring to Avengers Endgame when I said "the original".
Some errors which I spotted.
1. When talking about distance, 'm' usually denotes Meter, not Mile.
2. The Space Shuttle and the Space Launch System use pretty much identical engines, the RS-25 from Aerojet Rocketdyne and the SRBs. The orbital maneuvering engines are however different from those that will be used in the crewed section of SLS - called Orion.
3. The Saturn V used to carry Apollo 11 to the Moon only used the Rocketdyne F-1 engines for it's first stage, which only carried it to 38 miles high, not even to Space yet alone to the high reentry speeds listed.
4. The TIE Fighter image shown is not of the standard TIE Fighter, but of the TIE Advanced V1, which had a hyperdrive and could go much faster than the sublight speeds listed.
5. The Borg Cube's engines were of Transwarp-drive class.
6. The DS-1 Death Star was equipped with not only sublight engines, but also a class 4 hyperdrive and a backup class 20 hyperdrive.
7. The Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer was equipped with a hyperdrive in addition to the listed Ion drives. The same goes for the Slave I.
8. U.S.S. Sulaco, not Solaco
9. Speed of light is denotes as C, not L (atomic electron's angular momentum)
I would like to see the space battle ship Yamato and some of the other ships in Starblazers.
the borg cube engine was defined as a trans-warp engine
You forgot The Delta Flyer piloted by Tom Paris using the transwarp drive they only talk about in that one episode because it interfered with the plot later on in Voyage, that ship in that episode is up there with the Heart Of Gold.
think of light spd as the limit for normal space, so at light spd, ur moving through space at max spd while not moving through time at all so it is as if time spot for so u can move form point A to point B instantly from your point of view so it like being at any place at all place at the same time. at warp10 which is the spd he reach, is like reach the spd limit for that layer of subspace so it also have the same effect as reaching light sped in normal space. they nvr really said what is the spd of warp 10 is at though.
Loving the Gerry Anderson ships.
Pity the best ship ever was missing, and she's fast - The Liberator.
I agree totally and beautiful too.
Standard by 20
Where's the Satellite of Love? It would be at least as fast as the one from 2001.
You were off on the speeds of the Starfleet (Star Trek) vessels. There were actually 2 charts in ST history. The first used during the TOS era had warp factors (WF) being the WF rating cubed times the speed of light. Thus the 1701 which at times broke WF 9 was traveling over 720x the speed of light. The 1701-D reached a max speed of WF 9.7 under the updated Cochrane system which translated to 1900 x the speed of light. Voyager was smaller but had a similar speed rating.
And don't forget the Dreadnought Series...warships built far above the specs of any of the Starfleet vessels.
This made my geeky trekkie heart happy.
Starship Discovery goes by seconds as in 1 to 5 seconds "Black Alert" Mycellium spore drive, instantaneous.
The video shows the D is about twice as fast as the original Enterprise
Spaceball 1's Ludicrous Speed is so fast, light turns to plaid. 😂😂😂
Forgot the USS Vengeance, Star Trek Kelvin Timeline. "Dreadnought-class: two times the size, three times the speed, advanced weaponry, modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels it's built solely for combat."
-Khan, 2259
Discovery outdoes those old federation ships
God speed, after the big bang, edge of the universe, in less than a second
I loved that this video included such ships as the thunderfighter from buck rogers and the gunstar from last starfighter.
Should have used the Odyssey for Stargate. It has a ZPM at all times and from what I've read increases its hyperdrive speed to about 5x that of a Daedalus class without a ZPM.
Hell the Asgard ships are clocked in at tens to hundreds of billions of times light speed.
Agreed, I think an O'Neill Class Asgard warship is one of the fastest (non-instantaneous jumping) space vessels in all of science fiction. The only thing faster that comes to mind is a Traveler assisted Enterprise D, but that was only a temporary upgrade.
Asgard can go to the next galaxy in just a few seconds
True, Stargate speeds are insane
