A single-stage rocket gets off the Earth by igniting its engines at liftoff, generating thrust that overcomes Earth's gravity. The rocket gains speed and altitude until it reaches the required velocity to enter orbit or escape the Earth's atmosphere.
The first liquid-fueled rocket was developed by Robert H. Goddard in 1926. The Saturn V rocket, used in the Apollo program, remains the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. The fastest speed achieved by a rocket is 165,000 miles per hour (Mach 221), achieved by the Parker Solar Probe in 2018.
The first rocket ever launched was called the "V-2 Rocket." It was developed by Germany during World War II and was launched on October 3, 1942.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the definition of 'highest altitude'. For example, if you are referring to the highest point on Earth's surface, this is Mount Everest, which has an altitude of 8,848 metres (29,029 feet). However, if you are referring to the highest altitude ever reached by a human, this is 10,908 metres (35,787 feet), which was accomplished by Felix Baumgartner during a skydive from a helium balloon in 2012.
The Space Launch System (SLS) is currently NASA's tallest rocket. It is designed to be the most powerful rocket ever built and is intended to launch astronauts on missions to deep space, including Mars.
in the summer Olympics of 2010 usain bolt ran a record of 19.9 miles an hourThat's not what the question asked. I believe the Highest speed ever reached by a human was Lee Evans at 28.3 mph. I'd be interested to see what Bolt would be clocked at by, say, a radar gun...
The top speed of an airplane can vary by the model of the plane. The highest speed ever reached was 2,193 miles per hour by an SR-71 Blackbird in 1976.

Your average car can reach speeds of up to 230km\h. The highest speed reached ever by a car is 413km\h.
Average speed is a value of all the speeds you have travelled at over a certain length of time. Top speed is the absolute highest or fastest speed that you have ever reached. (A one time speed value).

North America does not have record of their highest wind speed available to the public. However, the highest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was during Tropical Storm Olivia in Australia. Top speeds reached 203 miles per hour.
