299,792,458 Meters per Second is a retired Earth badge. To earn it, the user had to consecutively submit 75 correct answers in any exercise within the time limit, which depended on the difficulty of the skill. Having a slow or incorrect answer meant that the user had to start all over again, meaning this badge may have been frustrating to achieve. Users could find the time limits for each exercise here. This badge can be found here on Khan Academy.

This badge, as with all speed badges, could be earned only once per exercise.
