Yeah, think about it:  Earth is rotating about the sun, which is 
rotating about the Milky Way nucleus, which is speeding in a cluster 
with many closer galaxies through ever accelerating expansive space.

We're actually cruising unknown frontiers at speeds vastly superior to 
200km/sec (which is about the speed of the sun as it rotates about the 
galaxy nucleus according to wikipedia).  Who needs a spaceship, huh?

and all this while you sit in front of your desk staring at the monitor, 
  holding your cup of coffee with a steady hand... :P
