Parker Solar Probe has now fallen inside the aphelion of Mercury and has picked up speed to 50.3 km/s (heliocentric; 181,000 km/hr). On Oct 30 it'll break the speed record of 68.6 km/s set by Helios 2 in 1976 and at perihelion Nov 6 0330 UTC will set a new record of 95.3 km/s
Relative to Earth (which you should not care about, but I know some of you do) Parker will break the Helios 2 record of 98.9 km/s early on Nov 5 and set a new record of 109.9 km/s on Nov 7 around 1900 UTC.
The new records will of course soon be broken by Parker's later, faster orbits around the Sun in 2020 and later
Although Parker is still outside Mercury's *average* distance to the Sun, since Mercury is near aphelion right now, it's actually inside Mercury's *current* distance to the Sun.
Here are the orbits of Parker (magenta) and Mercury (blue) projected on the ecliptic plane with their current positions indicated by squares. The Sun is the circle at (0,0).pic.twitter.com/sLfZNWAsyy
Here endeth the CORRECTED thread... I'm deleting last night's error-ridden version.
Crazy fast... It is already moving at a speed of 113,383 mi/h (182,472 km/h, 50.69 km/s) around the Sun...http://www.whereisroadster.com/psp/
0.03% speed of light 
Wonder if you remember working one summer at the ROE, around 82/83... I was there at the same time...we had many a discussion...usually about the existence of God... 
we profoundly disagreed guessing we still would today... 
I love reading your space reports, great detail
Hahaha! Hi Hilary! I do recall the conversations although I admit I wouldn't have recalled the name. And yes, looks we would still have some profound disagreements in that area - although I think we would still agree about many other things. Very nice to hear from you.
