From the linked article:- " If the rover crashed — a real possibility considering it would be slamming into the atmosphere at 13,000 mph (921,000 k/h)," I hope it wasn't someone from NASA that did that maths, as I believe there is only 1.609km per mile, so 13,000 mph would only be 21,000 k/h approx!!! (Wonders where the extra 900,000 k/h came from!!)
The author (or, more likely, the copy editor) lost two leading digits and moved the decimal point; the figure that was intended was 20921.472 km/hr.
