What is the fastest man-made object

When people think on the fastest man-made object, usually they think in fast cars as the Bugatti Veyron, or in fast airplanes as F18-Hornet.

However the fastest man-made object ever is NASA’s Juno Spacecraft that in 2013 broke the previous record, and setting the bar at 140.013 kilometers per hour.

That means that this NASA satellite reached 38 kilometers (or 24 miles) per second when performing a slingshot manoeuvre around Earth.
