I am really bad at math, but if I am correct now, that is 471,000 mph.
Could someone a little more talented at arithmetic please verify?

469756.6213 MPH- You were pretty close, but it's way below light speed. 210,000 meters per second equates to 130.4879504 miles per second.
I canna' only give ya' impulse, Cap'n.

(It does make a difference what you put in the numerator and denomerator!) You are correct. 469,800 mph to 4 significant figures.

According to
http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/length.php, the conversion would make it approximately 130.488 miles per second.
That would equal about 469757 miles per hour.
That's pretty close for being really bad at math.
