Even if I ridiculously lowball it to just half the size of the universe, which which is 93 billion light-years(so 46.5 lightyears)--

And lowball the time frame to the low end heart beat of a top condition athlete (40 beats per minute, so let's do 2 seconds since Orion took less than that)--

That's roughly 220 septillion times lightspeed. So so even with this ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE DISRESPECT to Orion's feat, it's still over 7 quadrillion times faster than Gladiator flying at 100 times lightspeed.
And still, 200 lightyears in minutes compared to the massive disrespect of 46.5 billion loghtyears in 2 seconds? Yeah, still weak sauce.
Current Orion uses a harness to fly, lol. Doesn't count.
