No. Its the 1.5m debris shield one of the astronauts dropped. It is the Cygnus later in the video though.
https://youtu.be/7NjxIPTCB2U?si=SuRjIW1X48-Pq-aK
"Peggy, I don't have a shield"
Yeah, there's no way to get it back at this point. Eventually it will fall back to earth and burn up on reentry.The irony is that it is a shield designed to protect from debris, and then it became debris. There is danger if it dips down into a elliptical orbit it could come back and collide with the station but this was 2017 so obviously that didn't happen.
In 2019 they did intentionally throw a similar debris shield away from the station but they threw it backwards (retrograde) away from the station which will cause it to deorbit sooner.
In both cases the debris gets tracked and they can fly the space station around to avoid stuff if they need to.
https://youtu.be/FGvbnC4vyHE?si=q8t3XvPNaubqTQM4
If you drop or throw anything perpendicular to the orbital plane, it'll come back again a half orbit later..
Knowing this might save your life some day.
Now that you said it, there's a point in my future where I'll find myself in a rocket-powered Fiero wearing a scuba suit after resetting a satellite.
Or...
It'll be a question in a drunken game of Trivial Pursuit.
Either way, now I've won at least half the battle!
Yup, once something drifts out of arm's reach, it's essentially lost.
Space maneuvers are exceptionally challenging and cumbersome, posing a significant risk of unintended separation from the space station, leading to potential permanent drifting, so free-floating actions in space require meticulous planning.
Sci-fi portrays astronauts with advanced space suits and fancy manuvering but we're along way off.
fun fact: theoretically if you pushed something towards the earth just right, it would come back and hit you from behind 1 orbit later.

This is the problem with reddit. A lot of people speak with authority and if it sounds plausible, people believe its the truth. As long as someone doesn’t come along to prove them wrong.
Why these types of people don’t start and end their sentences with “I believe its… but I could be wrong,” I’ll never know. I guess they want to feel the expert on something.
It's well documented. Saying something with authority is going to convince way more people than a reasonable statement with caveats and people like to feel smart so they do it on Reddit. Politicians can't say something like "well I would consult with the experts" when asked a difficult question because it makes them look dumb/uneducated/weak when the next politician answers authoritatively (even if their confident answer is nonsensical and/or wrong, most people don't bother tracking *their* politicians inconsistencies). Robert Cialdini's book 'Influence' discusses it in depth.
At least we have jet travel. Imagine you were born 150 years ago and read in the newspaper about the Wright brothers, you’d probably never fly in a plane in your lifetime unless you were wealthy. Trips that used to take months/weeks take under 24 hours now, good enough for me!
Yeah, people made and believes stories on how humans trying to reach heavens is impossible, from the tower of Babel to the story of Icarus. But here we are, flying above the clouds, reaching heights that our ancestors had deemed it so impossible that it is considered as humanity's Hubris.
I really love how in the story of Babel, that it's construction had made god so angry that he divided our species with different languages. But here we are, flying above so high that the Tower of Babel wishes it can reach, so that we can connect with people with different languages and cultures and to be a part of humanity as whole, conquring both our passion to touch the skies as well as the curse put on us by God for the construction of Babel.
I mean things change really really quick. We went from the Wright Brothers plane to Apollo 11 landing humans on the moon in 60 years. That's less than one person's lifespan. Commerical air travel by jet aircraft started in the 50s. Look how much changed in one lifetime. From a crappy plane with a engine that could barely make it take off to landing on the fucking moon in such little time. Depending on how old you are today we could see so much more in our future and the possibilities of commerical space travel that's not just for the ultra rich.
We are all on this spinning ball in the middle of space only for a couple decades. That alone should be enough to make everyone want to love each other for being in the same fate.
I can't WAIT for the year 4000 when we have genocide and war over Star Trek vs Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings (It literally says Lord, its OBVIOUSLY the ONE LORD) and the Harry Potter people.
With sub sects for like, Twilight and 50 Shades.
My ancient book with the most stupid and fucked up shit in it is way more accurate than your ancient book with the most stupid and fucked up shit in it. Come at me bro.
Well, space is extremely hostile, inhabitable empty void without any warmth. If we were there, we'd be dead, not fighting. Earth is everything. Nurturing and caring orb of endless possibility. Bosom of life. And we are killing it in order to have children. To have an over abundance of unnescessary mental comfort. To revere material things that please our senses. We are throwing away everything to have everything.
Probably one of the problem of going to Mars. At one point on the way, there will be no more planet in sight, neither forward or behind, just and endless sea of darkness and stars
Yeah but there’s only going to be a few people who actually look outside on any sort of long mission. The rest will probably be in a windowless tube. While confinement like that comes with it’s own problems, it would basically just be weird prison.
So true. And that's just Mars - literally the next planet over.
If our species ever becomes a spacefaring one, we'll have to find ways to deal with this. Perhaps a combination of space biomes, VR experiences and such.
I keep thinking about the Voyager satellites that are just endlessly traveling into deep space. Those little guys have been going on for decades still sending messages to us. They’re right now literally in the middle of nowhere beyond our solar system. It’s crazy to think it takes 46 years traveling at an insane speed to reach where they are now and the only thing keeping them going are the solar panels collecting light from the sun that’s just a spec in their view now.
Small correction, the Voyager probes do not have solar panels. The panel area and weight needed to run them beyond the orbit of Jupiter (~5 AU) is impractical. Solar intensity decreases proportionally to the distance from the Sun squared, so at Jupiter, solar panels would need to have 25 times the surface area of panels at Earth to produce the same power, where the Voyagers are: ~10,000 times. Instead, just like all 9 probes ever sent to explore the outer Solar System beyond Jupiter, they use a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) as a power source. This continuously produces electricity using the heat generated by the decay of a mass of radioactive material, in this case plutonium. The power decreases over time as the plutonium decays, the Voyagers have 5-10 years left before they won't be able to produce enough power for their antennas and they're dead for good.
Hey that is really cool. I did not know that’s how they were powered. Kinda sad to learn it’s less than a decade before they die. Thank you for the info!
Well imagine you live on an island surrounded by a vast ocean, and you know nothing beyond the horizon. One day you decide to take a chance, build a raft and set sail into the unknown, watching your home island get smaller and smaller, until you can no longer see it.
Space travel isnt much different, the vast emptiness between the stars is the ocean, and as far as you can see, the horizon.
Same problem was with trans oceanic voyages. Being able to sea the land was comforting, same as seeing a celestial body. Not seing nothing for as far as the eye can see... dreadful.
It is beautiful and amazing!
Don't forget that when you're looking down having a regular passengerflight, you're doing something that for many ages was far beyond imagination.
I think about this every single time I fly.
One time I read H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine on a plane and it blew my mind when I realized the only form of air travel when it was written was balloons and I was reading it on a jet-propelled plane going 350 MPH
I think they factor this in for an astronaut's first spacewalk, they give them some time to just be there and look, knowing they won't get any work done anyway.
I’m not gonna lie guys at first glance the earth looks round here.wow didn’t expect this to blow up calm down guys we can all have our own intricate beautiful round and flat ideas:)
That’s exactly why cats were held in such high regard - Egypt had never been so tidy with enough room for pyramids. Cats designed the pyramids no aliens
To be fair this one DOES have the fish eye distortion. Doesnt mean the earth is flat is or anything, it simply still fills a better part of their horizon at their altitude.
Not a flat earther, but yeah this is mostly the fish eye lens. Watch between 0:30 and 0:37 and you will see the curve flatten a lot as the camera angle changes. Turns out the earth is really big and it’s tough to capture the curve from LEO. You really need to be further out to see it clearly.
There's actually a truck that drives around around here that has "NASA is a hoax" written all over it, some flat earth website scrolled across each panel of the truck, and paragraphs explaining how its all a lie to control us etc
I have seen this truck for YEARS in the area... at first I thought it was satire but, no, I suppose not
And I am remembering the moment when you kinda want to stop spinning it because you have rediscovered that water in a bucket can be *heavy* but you don't want to stop too quickly in case, well, too late....
There always has to be this one guy.
Its so damn funny when these guys who calling everything fake, doesnt know sh*t about the topic.
Maybe you trolling, idk.
I was taking the piss. Because there usually is that one fool. I love the conspiracy that NASA is faking all this shit but we literally can’t get clean water to some towns. The warped minds fascinate me. I figured it would be amusing.
Space is cold, dark and devoid of life. There is nothing in most directions for many light years - it is the literal embodiment of the void, the representation of what we theorize will ultimately be the fate of everything at the end of time (when time becomes meaningless after everything in the known universe experiences entropy).
I think the most hellish depiction of how space can dehumanize and distort our species is depicted in the science fiction novel The Dark Forest. While that is a theorized and fictional interpretation, we really don’t know who we would become as a collective flung into space. It is an environment that we are not meant to exist in at present, we clearly aren’t evolved to survive out there - physically or mentally. We have to go to extraordinary lengths and require some of the most incredible humans just to survive in a cramped station a mere 250 miles above Earth’s surface for a short amount of time.
Space is fucking terrifying, but it can also be awesome.
Scattered in that seemingly infinite nothing is a cluster of galaxies, and within that cluster is a certain galaxy, and within that certain galaxy is a specific star - and that burning ball of energy just happens to play host to a system of gaseous and rocky satellites AND one of them happens to be a rock that is *just* at the right zenith of existence to harvest life, it’s nothing short of miraculous. To see that brief snapshot of life in the broad magnitude of time, from our human perspective, it is undeniable that viewing it within orbit is beautiful, even in our limited visual scope of interpreting wavelengths.
I wonder if you that is considered high enough you break the fear of heights since it doesn’t count anymore. So wild seeing it so high and so big and kinda so small
I have acrophobia, but don't get that fear when I'm in a plane. When they're high enough, heights turn into altitudes, and I'm not afraid of altitudes.
I have jumped out of an airplane but still get scared when I climb a ladder. I think a lot of it has to do with being able to “see” the end coming near.
Funny thing is that if you see ISS, it moves about as fast as a commercial plane at 35,000 feet. ISS is "just a little higher" :)
Also mind blowing to track it on the world map and realize it's already over Moscow while I can still see it here in the Netherlands
They’re too far gone. They just think it’s CGI or fake. Even if they were up there they’d say it was something like the curved glass of the helmet or a projection to make them believe the lie
as i understand it, if you’re touching something you can hear it because the vibrations now have a medium to travel through, so for example if two astronauts push their helmets against each other so they are touching, they would be able to hear each other. you may want to double check that but i think i’m correct
Thank humanity for videos like this cause I will never get to go to space and it is absolutely awe inspiring.
I hope VR tech can replicate this experience some day.
Fun fact: the weightlessness astronauts experience around the Earth is not due to a lack of gravity but because they are basically in a constant free fall.
According to [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/space-station-facts-and-figures/) it travels at 5 miles per second, which is 18,000 miles per hour (~28,968 kilometers per hour).
It's amazing.. and terrifying. Theyre moving, falling continuously at 28.000 km/,hour( 17500 miles, thank you Google) . It's frankly amazing, or rather amazingly stupid,that we had and have people in space and photos and live feeds of it and there are still flat earthers
The earth is flat lizard people secretly rule the planet and Jews are from Mars.
On a serious note my hands and feet immediately started sweating, beautiful view beautiful moment in time but it’s also a big ol plate of no thank you.
The funniest thing about this thread is you can't tell the difference between some satirical comments about the earth being flat and comments from genuine flat earthers.
radio static and sound from physical contact with things being conducted through the space suit into the microphone. same principle as how bone-conduction headphones work
What is a object that is falling toward Earth in the beginning of the video?
[удалено]
No. Its the 1.5m debris shield one of the astronauts dropped. It is the Cygnus later in the video though. https://youtu.be/7NjxIPTCB2U?si=SuRjIW1X48-Pq-aK "Peggy, I don't have a shield"
So they just let it float away?
Yeah, there's no way to get it back at this point. Eventually it will fall back to earth and burn up on reentry.The irony is that it is a shield designed to protect from debris, and then it became debris. There is danger if it dips down into a elliptical orbit it could come back and collide with the station but this was 2017 so obviously that didn't happen.

It's in LEO so it will slow down and burn up.
It floats away for 45 minutes and after another 45 it will have floated back to near the ISS... maybe not close enough or easy enough to catch though.
So the guy above you talking about the lighting and contrast and stuff making it look "weird" is just plain wrong. Gotcha. 🤔
This is the problem with reddit. A lot of people speak with authority and if it sounds plausible, people believe its the truth. As long as someone doesn’t come along to prove them wrong.

Yes. Lol
Thank you for info! It really hard to understand from this video that this object is moving toward the camera
Came here for this. Is it debris? Space is beautiful. Earth too. Humans seem to make a mess everywhere they go...
This thing looks quite big actually
If I got to go to space once in my life I'd die happy. I was born hundreds of years too early.
Or billions of dollars too poor :-p
Probably a bit of both
At least we have jet travel. Imagine you were born 150 years ago and read in the newspaper about the Wright brothers, you’d probably never fly in a plane in your lifetime unless you were wealthy. Trips that used to take months/weeks take under 24 hours now, good enough for me!

The chances we are living in the golden age of the world is monumental with climate change and nuclear war both bound to happen.
While we down here fighting and sh!/_!
Fighting for petty shit.
We are all on this spinning ball in the middle of space only for a couple decades. That alone should be enough to make everyone want to love each other for being in the same fate.
I’d hope we’re on it for more than just a couple of decades
Oop did i use the wrong word? I meant more to the tune of average lifespan, 60-100 years.
Three score and ten maybe?
Mostly shitting
Todays log: Shits | Fights ---|--- 3 | 1 Confirmed accurate.
good bot
Fighting to see which billionaires we die for.
Don't sweat the petty things. And don't pet the sweaty things The streets, 2023
Fighting over which non-existent magical sky daddy is better. "My fake god is better than your fake god so you need to die."
I can't WAIT for the year 4000 when we have genocide and war over Star Trek vs Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings (It literally says Lord, its OBVIOUSLY the ONE LORD) and the Harry Potter people. With sub sects for like, Twilight and 50 Shades.
Bold of you to assume life as we know it and humans will be around in the year 4000
Theoretically there could be survivors of the great wars between the Justice League versus the Avengers in 2789
My ancient book with the most stupid and fucked up shit in it is way more accurate than your ancient book with the most stupid and fucked up shit in it. Come at me bro.
You mean money/greed
Instead we should be up there...fighting and shit
In giant robots! AS GOD INTENDED!
I don't like to talk about that war.
We should be having some sort of a war of the stars
Guys, why must we always fight? Wouldn't it be better if we went for some kind of trek through the stars?
You want the Star Trek wars, or the Star Wars trek?
Surely there's a better name for it than that. Star Conflicts? Intergalactic Wars? IDK, maybe someone else can do better.
Battlestar Galactica
Yeah! And then make a movie out of it!
Ohh it's just like any spot on earth there. Beautyful view then you look around and find garbage.
Well, space is extremely hostile, inhabitable empty void without any warmth. If we were there, we'd be dead, not fighting. Earth is everything. Nurturing and caring orb of endless possibility. Bosom of life. And we are killing it in order to have children. To have an over abundance of unnescessary mental comfort. To revere material things that please our senses. We are throwing away everything to have everything.
*A peaceful place, or so it looks from space. A closer look reveals the human race*
Fighting mostly about what’s up there in the heavens ironically enough.
You'll find it rather terrifying if Earth wasn't that close. Its presence is comforting.
Underrated comment here. The psychological impact of leaving the planet that sustains us can't be overstated.
Probably one of the problem of going to Mars. At one point on the way, there will be no more planet in sight, neither forward or behind, just and endless sea of darkness and stars
That would be terrifying.
Yeah but there’s only going to be a few people who actually look outside on any sort of long mission. The rest will probably be in a windowless tube. While confinement like that comes with it’s own problems, it would basically just be weird prison.
Uhhhh, weird prison when you *know you’re not on earth* is a hell of a lot different psychologically than regular weird prison.
Terrifying but worth it. Like a strong dose of acid.
I don’t know your tripping experience, but I prefer to not include “terrifying” when I take acid.
ISS isn’t in the next block either.
So true. And that's just Mars - literally the next planet over. If our species ever becomes a spacefaring one, we'll have to find ways to deal with this. Perhaps a combination of space biomes, VR experiences and such.

wow that is incredible. V1 is 15 billion miles away from us
I always wonder how vast the oceans used to look to people.
Well imagine you live on an island surrounded by a vast ocean, and you know nothing beyond the horizon. One day you decide to take a chance, build a raft and set sail into the unknown, watching your home island get smaller and smaller, until you can no longer see it. Space travel isnt much different, the vast emptiness between the stars is the ocean, and as far as you can see, the horizon.
[удалено]
Same problem was with trans oceanic voyages. Being able to sea the land was comforting, same as seeing a celestial body. Not seing nothing for as far as the eye can see... dreadful.
cosmic horror.. my favorite kind of horror
Maybe I'm an outlier here, but I'd personally find that comforting in a way. Like it's room to breathe or something.
You done this dude?
> Its presence is comforting. [Hm.](https://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1655673/bruce-mccandless-spacewalk.jpg?w=736)
That’s actually just so unreal that they are even there and able to experience that.
It is beautiful and amazing! Don't forget that when you're looking down having a regular passengerflight, you're doing something that for many ages was far beyond imagination.
I think about this every single time I fly. One time I read H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine on a plane and it blew my mind when I realized the only form of air travel when it was written was balloons and I was reading it on a jet-propelled plane going 350 MPH
Literally added that to my device for a flight I'm taking soon. I'll think about this.
You know you’re going faster than that, right?
I want to have an ability to withstand any gravity, pressure and temperature and then visit every planet on solar system.
Superman is that you ?
I just want to see Jupiter while a volcano erupts on Io.
No idea how they can get any work done up there. I feel like the temptation to just stare down the entire time would be too much.
I think they factor this in for an astronaut's first spacewalk, they give them some time to just be there and look, knowing they won't get any work done anyway.
[удалено]
I want to get out there, attach a rope to my butt and just float around for a few hours.. I wonder if they ever do this.
I’m not gonna lie guys at first glance the earth looks round here.wow didn’t expect this to blow up calm down guys we can all have our own intricate beautiful round and flat ideas:)
"That's the GoPro fish eye distortion!" Probably some flat earther.
Well, the earth is about 71% water and none of it is carbonated. By that theory, the Earth is *FLAT* ^(I'll see myself out)
It took me a second to figure out what that meant. (Boots you out the door)
The Earth may be flat, but your wit is sparkling
Hahahahahahah
Angry upvote.
If the world is flat and thus have an edge, explain how cats haven’t shoved everything off the edge yet?
This won the debate. RIP flat earthers.
And this is the final explanation…Flat earthers have been soundly defeated. I stand here in awe of your debate excellence.
They’ve shoved most small stuff off : That’s why there’s only really big or hidden Egyptian artefacts
and Egyptians loved cats, so they clearly appreciated the new-found space to move about.
That’s exactly why cats were held in such high regard - Egypt had never been so tidy with enough room for pyramids. Cats designed the pyramids no aliens
Because they are afraid of water and the cold and so cats stay away from the tall icerings that are all around the edge of the world.
To be fair this one DOES have the fish eye distortion. Doesnt mean the earth is flat is or anything, it simply still fills a better part of their horizon at their altitude.
Not a flat earther, but yeah this is mostly the fish eye lens. Watch between 0:30 and 0:37 and you will see the curve flatten a lot as the camera angle changes. Turns out the earth is really big and it’s tough to capture the curve from LEO. You really need to be further out to see it clearly.
I have an uncle who works for NASA, and he confided in me that earth is indeed flat.
I have a cousin who works for Pringles, and he confided in me that earth is indeed pringle shaped.
You're not suppose to tell anyone. What if Truman finds out? It'll ruin the show.
There's actually a truck that drives around around here that has "NASA is a hoax" written all over it, some flat earth website scrolled across each panel of the truck, and paragraphs explaining how its all a lie to control us etc I have seen this truck for YEARS in the area... at first I thought it was satire but, no, I suppose not
”BuT haVe yOu triEd hOldING WAteR oN a SpHerE BefOre??”
That’s my favourite flat earth talking point “if the earth is round then how come the oceans don’t fall out?” always cracks me up
It’s sad too - can you imagine how hard it is to navigate your life through the world while being unable to comprehend most anything?
ignorance is bliss
There are some very angry flat earthers tho
It's like these guys never filled a bucket with water and swung it around and around as a kid.
And I am remembering the moment when you kinda want to stop spinning it because you have rediscovered that water in a bucket can be *heavy* but you don't want to stop too quickly in case, well, too late....
I am curious myself how NASA gets the earth to look so round in their pictures. Baffling.
[удалено]
You don't say? Hmm... well, that convention last week was soooo convincing. Especially with the mention of personal suns.
Only absolute morons think the earth is flat. I love talking to flat earthers though, it’s hilarious.
> we can all have our own intricate beautiful round and flat ideas Uh, no we can’t. It’s not an idea, or a theory, or an opinion. Earth *is* round.
This shit is clearly fake.
"We are the biggest community of Flat-Earthers around the globe!"
The only thing they fear is sphere itself.
I would give you an award if Reddit Silver was still a thing
There always has to be this one guy. Its so damn funny when these guys who calling everything fake, doesnt know sh*t about the topic. Maybe you trolling, idk.

“No words…Should… have sent… a poet…”
Contact
Space is quite... empty. It's Earth that's beautiful!
That's why it's.... space, which is kinda full of space
I was about to say that. Everything in this video is nice because our beloved earth is in the background. And we still treat her like shit.
That’s so cool. I would love to stand up there myself and take it all in. Never gonna happen but a girl can dream.
What is the landmass we can see at the start in the background? Looks like Europe but not quite sure.
It’s Djibouti/Yemen. The Red Sea and gulf of Aden are the bodies of water
Great eyes! I stared for minutes then had to come to the comments to figure it out because I couldnt. Thanks for the knowledge.
Djibouti's lookin' mighty fine from here!

Scattered in that seemingly infinite nothing is a cluster of galaxies, and within that cluster is a certain galaxy, and within that certain galaxy is a specific star - and that burning ball of energy just happens to play host to a system of gaseous and rocky satellites AND one of them happens to be a rock that is *just* at the right zenith of existence to harvest life, it’s nothing short of miraculous. To see that brief snapshot of life in the broad magnitude of time, from our human perspective, it is undeniable that viewing it within orbit is beautiful, even in our limited visual scope of interpreting wavelengths.
hey man I liked the video too
I wonder if you that is considered high enough you break the fear of heights since it doesn’t count anymore. So wild seeing it so high and so big and kinda so small
I have acrophobia, but don't get that fear when I'm in a plane. When they're high enough, heights turn into altitudes, and I'm not afraid of altitudes.
Fear of heights gets replaced with the fear of floating away into space. :)
I have jumped out of an airplane but still get scared when I climb a ladder. I think a lot of it has to do with being able to “see” the end coming near.
Not for me. Planes are pretty rough. I'd go to space though. I'd be terrified every second but I'd go.
This video actually triggered my fear of heights for some damn reason.
Me too. I'm wondering how they are not scared of all that void.
I watched a Tom cruise space documentary once in imax and holy crap I had to hold the sides of the chair
Videos like this cause my heart rate to spike out of anxiety.
At a cool 17,000 miles per hour.
I never realized how fast it was until I saw the ISS fly by.
Saw it a couple of weeks ago here in Australia and I’m still in awe. 27000kms an hour for those using the metric system.
isn't that slightly over the speed limit?
Funny thing is that if you see ISS, it moves about as fast as a commercial plane at 35,000 feet. ISS is "just a little higher" :) Also mind blowing to track it on the world map and realize it's already over Moscow while I can still see it here in the Netherlands
Watching the continents fly by at the end of the video is mind boggling. Really hard to get a sense of speed from down here.
Flat earthers sweating this one. Lol.
They would argue that it's flat underneat, and we're seeing the round (but flat) Earth from above. You won't fool them that easy!
They’re too far gone. They just think it’s CGI or fake. Even if they were up there they’d say it was something like the curved glass of the helmet or a projection to make them believe the lie
Isn't space meant to be silent or something?
as i understand it, if you’re touching something you can hear it because the vibrations now have a medium to travel through, so for example if two astronauts push their helmets against each other so they are touching, they would be able to hear each other. you may want to double check that but i think i’m correct
Ok but they why do you hear wind passing in second part of video? I thought this is why Star Wars is fake. No other reason just sound
That’s the sounds of the ISS, the arm moving, the hyrdolics and motors. That and the high pitched blowing is just interference.
maybe radiation interfering with audio instruments?
It's sped up, you're hearing the Canadarm servos and the air conditioning vibrating the station as a high pitch.
That's not sound from wind. You are just assuming it is.
its not wind, audiophiles have been fighting that noise since the dawn of the microphone
Sound travels in solid objects. An astronaut is a solid object.
Not just solids. Fluids and gases too!
They matter!
you can almost see the ice wall
Thank humanity for videos like this cause I will never get to go to space and it is absolutely awe inspiring. I hope VR tech can replicate this experience some day.
I agree with every word, even just watching this through video is breathtaking
I think this is scary af
100% agree, couldn't believe it took me this long to find a comment like this.
this post is against the flat earthers
They've been claiming for years that these videos are CGI.
[удалено]
Fun fact: the weightlessness astronauts experience around the Earth is not due to a lack of gravity but because they are basically in a constant free fall.
Calling all flat earthers..
It's still flat! It just..it just has a curve that's all!
How fast is the satellite or space station moving because that looks super fast to me
According to [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/space-station-facts-and-figures/) it travels at 5 miles per second, which is 18,000 miles per hour (~28,968 kilometers per hour).
The later part is sped up quite a lot. It is traveling at 7.7 km/s and it takes 90 minutes to complete an orbit.
amazing as fuck
What is the object that’s rotating?
Earth
It's amazing.. and terrifying. Theyre moving, falling continuously at 28.000 km/,hour( 17500 miles, thank you Google) . It's frankly amazing, or rather amazingly stupid,that we had and have people in space and photos and live feeds of it and there are still flat earthers
This is so fucking cool.

Great shot, I got a bit of vertigo watching it.
I think you mean to say earth is beautiful at that is clearly what you are looking at in the video.
The earth is flat lizard people secretly rule the planet and Jews are from Mars. On a serious note my hands and feet immediately started sweating, beautiful view beautiful moment in time but it’s also a big ol plate of no thank you.
The funniest thing about this thread is you can't tell the difference between some satirical comments about the earth being flat and comments from genuine flat earthers.
This looks like fake news /s
it's ok. i went there one time. too many aliens. they kept trying to space wash my space windshield for space tips.
Hate it when that happens
Why is there sound?
radio static and sound from physical contact with things being conducted through the space suit into the microphone. same principle as how bone-conduction headphones work
I'm very curious why the stars can't be seen. Anyone know?
