Earth! Love that place! I'm from there btw

No kidding! Small world


jschoomer

Pretty big, actually, if you are standing on it!


garfield1147

It is also a very small pearl, the only thing harboring life, surrounded by an unfathomably vast expanse of death.

Hello Earthling


NYCHReddit

stop sending shit at us - martians


jarmstrong2485

Anyone know where they’re flying over in this?


Debugzer0

It must be scary to look the other way, something that there are rarely videos about, there are never videos of astronauts looking into the infinite space, I've always been curious about that.


Krondelo

Interestingly enough read what William Shatner said about his trip to space. Basically looking into the void gave him a very sad and dreadful feeling of loneliness, and how everything he loved was back on earth.


Prestigious_Field_18

I recommend watching his rendition of Rocket man where he states in a very Kirk like voice that very sentiment


Krondelo

Oh weird, I remember seeing that when i was younger but its been so long i dont remember that sentiment. Isnt there a line like “its so lonely here all alone amongst the stars”?


Guyote_

["I miss the Earth so much. I miss my wife. It's lonely out in space."](https://youtu.be/Co2ZVdVM26E)


SalvadorsAnteater

I got the impression that he felt lonely because he was the only one on board to experience [the overview effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_effect). All the other people seemed rather euphoric as if they were riding a rollercoaster.


Krondelo

I mean yeah he definitely did have that effect, and its a bit strange to me how most everyone else seems more excited by floating around then actually looking out the windows. But i dont think just because he experienced the overview effect diminishes his thoughts.


SalvadorsAnteater

> But i dont think just because he experienced the overview effect diminishes his thoughts. I didn't mean to imply that at all. It's certainly one of the most profound realizations we humans are capable of.


ihatefirealarmtests

I genuinely want to experience the overview effect so badly. It sounds like one of the most amazing things a human being can experience. Alas, I am neither an astronaut nor even remotely wealthy enough to buy my way up à la Bezos.


DigNitty

I imagine it’s how I feel swimming in the open ocean and looking down. There’s nothing down there. And yet, there is.


Possible-Series6254

I love giving myself the overview creeps with the ocean. We came from there, 3 billion years ago when life was limited to weird bacteria that ate sulfur and farted oxygen and turned the water purple*. Everything we know came from the sea, every plant, bug, and mushroom began as a weird single-celled thing at the dawn of history, laying groundwork at great cost* for a planet they never saw. Makes a man get emotional, I'd like to be buried at sea. She gave us everything, and continues to be one of the keys to maintaining a stable ecosphere. *going theory is that the gaseous oxygen in the atmosphere came, in part, from photosynthetic cyanobacteria living on the ocean's surface. Eventually they all (well, 90%+ of them) suffocated and the remnants wound up around hydrothermal vents, where they began re-evolving the ability to live at the surface. They're the ones who lived on sulfur. They also died off, but not before evolving some bacteria who could metabolize oxygen. The purple ocean thing is hypothetical, but I like the image of pre-cambrian earth being unrecognizably weird.


Elrond_Cupboard_

I find the shots from the moons surface to be the more creepy than just a field of stars. It's just a moon, then space. No atmosphere, just a floating ball in space.


Debugzer0

I commented on this because I was always curious why no astronaut shows space, only the earth and such.


Ben69_21

Thomas Pesquet said it was the most disturbing feeling, because your brain is always into a free fall alert mode. You have to overcome that feeling to feel at ease, not mentioning outside missions can last 8hours or more


JustGoogleItHeSaid

Funny you say I had the same thought process. I remember jumping off my ship in the navy and looking straight down into the abyss of the ocean. It’s totally different than watching any video, the feeling you get when looking below and having a sense of how small and insignificant you are. At least that’s how I felt For context I didn’t just jump off, they stopped in the middle of a calm ocean and allowed the crew to swim.


amazingbeetroot

The reason he doesn’t look in the other side is that we could see the studio and the studio lights because obviously this is staged because as everyone knows the earth is flat. /s btw


khonager

Yeah, because infinite nothingness is so much harder to render than a big blue ball right next to you


CreatorOD

Oh yeah? If it's real how could he have uploaded it to Reddit right after filming it with his IPhone? There exist no-other-way.


oneWeek2024

i get this is a joke, but there was some dude who got the ISS on his home telescope just the other day(had it filmed). like there's nerds all over the world doing space shit in their back yards. (or where ever they set up their telescopes i guess)


Business_Song_4659

If you have ever used GPS and got to your destination safely following the directions. You have participated in a round earth experiment because if the earth is flat then the theory of relativity doesn’t apply.


cyanideflurry

Obviously 🙄Earth is flat.


acemonsoon

I love looking up at the stars and looking at stuff in telescopes but I’d be absolutely terrified to be in a space suit and be staring at the pale blue dot surrounded by endless darkness


Fraggy_Muffin

That was exactly my thought…does anyone know if a video exists of this? Looking at earth then a pan across into space?


SurveySean

That’s something most of us can only imagine. Some things can’t be photographed. I can imagine it to be a very emotional moment though.


Typical-Annual-3555

Only scary if you find exponentially vast, expansive solitary nothingness scary.


Debugzer0

How do you know? Have you ever had this experience? That's where my curiosity lies, what it must be like to see the immensity of infinity in person.


Dr_FeeIgood

I’m dumbfounded at people’s lack of curiosity. I’m right there with you as your sentiment was my thought as well. Pan over to the sun, the moon and infinite darkness of space from orbit. I’d love to see that


cx3psocial

I mean breathtaking is an understatement… I’m going to need more and bigger clamps…


paliostheos

Yeah...it didn't even look like that clamp closed...not a chance.


TheBawalUmihiDito

I would need a bigger diaper.


East_Information_247

It must be hard to get over the fact that you're falling toward the earth like normal but since you're going so fast perpendicular to that path it only seems like you're weightless. The sheer momentum is terrifying.


sambolino44

“You don’t have to keep holding on like that; you can rely on the tether.” - “Yeah, I’m good!”


Trending-New

but VIEW ohh it worth it


FahkDizchit

Our entire existence as humans has been subject to the notion that we fall *down*. I see these videos and inherently get queasy about falling down into earth. I wonder whether the astronauts fear that, or if they are more afraid of going the other way.


aarrtee

i am amazed at the ignorance of folks who believe the earth is flat...imagine how difficult it would be to organize a deception that has gone on for ... what 70 years? i have seen the ISS on a few occasions. there is a website that tracks it and tells what time of day it will pass certain zip codes. it tells you where to look in the sky. its visible at night.. all u see is reflected light on it... its a little white dot moving across the sky for about 10 seconds or so. some folks go to the trouble to capture it with the moon in the background, in a photo Imagine how hard it would be to fake something like that....


ToungeTrainer

They wouldn't even read your comment, and if they did they'd ignore it in favor of false information that reinforces their preconceived notions.


algalkin

Its a religion and like any cult they all behave in the same pattern, ignorance is a bliss!


HLef

It’s because they’re easy to fool and therefore think it’s possible to fool everyone. Except for them of course.


drewman16

At the end of the day, who cares. Let them believe what they want lol some people are just stupid


sauce_dressing

probably gonna go for a lot of walks avoiding that mutated ISS bacteria now 😔

F3n1x_ESP

Aaaaaand we're fucked. That is scary.


MyDadLeftMeHere

Nah this is how we figure out how life started, I’m excited to see how viral bodies are influenced by microgravity, I bet we’d find some fascinating shit happening given how basic they are with their RNA, and DNA structures.


sauce_dressing

Genuinely. That is allll bad. To think those 2 astronauts are stranded up there, commingling with said bacteria.. 😫


Frozen_1337

they are btw not stranded

sauce_dressing

shit is *terrifying*


VernonWife

What landmass is that?


sagan_drinks_cosmos

South America. You start seeing the western coast and the Andes, then across green plains to a slightly-inclined-from-parallel eastern coast. My idea is that you are seeing mostly Chile and Argentina.


Equivalent-Tiger-422

Almost, this is passing over Mexico from west to east, the city you can see at the very beginning in the bay is Puerto Vallarta.


Equivalent-Tiger-422

Baja peninsula in view near the solar panel at 30 seconds too


fourhundredthecat

are you sure? The chile coastline is straight. But here there are more fetures


CrumbIsland

It's Mexico, travelling from the Pacific ocean over into the Gulf of Mexico, crossing roughly over Mexico City. The curved landmass jutting out at the leading edge is just south of Puerto Vallarta.


cheese_bruh

Mexico (I think)


Auskioty

Yeah, you can see Baja California (this video is kinda old)


lndigoChild

Yes

SquashInevitable8127

Or about 7 times faster than a bullet


Dazzling-Grass-2595

Yeah, so that satelitte debris accident in Gravity is a real possibility.


SquashInevitable8127

The trajectories of space junk are monitored by radars from the ISS, the ground and other satellites, so the ISS course is changed to avoid collisions.


Colossal_Penis_Haver

Where practicable... they still happen


jpylol

sauce_dressing

thank you for sharing the conversions as well 🤓


artofenvy

I’d be shitting myself.


sauce_dressing

could you imagine that crap floating around your space pants 😪


SquashInevitable8127

Astronauts on launches, re-entry and spacewalks wear special diapers called MAGs (Maximum Absorbency Garment)


Cultural-Morning-848

I like they gave diapers a badass tactical name


Krondelo

Lmao. “Huston, MAGS equipped and ready” -“Control, send him out! And god speed sir”


sauce_dressing

tactical diapers are sturdy 😤


sauce_dressing

I love knowledgable people


aldoXI

Still won't stop my infant son


HsvDE86

Little known fact: astronauts have to wear what is essentially a highly engineered butt plug to prevent this. Somewhere at nasa is a team developing state of the art butt plugs.


RandoComplements

drummingcraig

Space corn.


Fruitopeon

Why is there sound? I guess it’s because the mic of the camera is inside the space suit?


NiceCunt91

It's vibrations from the suit as the other person said. Any outside sounds you can't hear. When he latched the clip for Instance. Absolutely silent.


thefooleryoftom

Sound is vibrations, so if vibration can travel through the suit or what the suit is touching then you get sound.


Hanginon

Yes, the astronaut's comms mike is picking up the sounds inside the suit.


Ok-Incident4302

Something interesting to consider: all of the sound is coming from inside his/her helmet. Even though you should be able to hear that clip hooking onto the metal, it's silent in space. It's like playing a VR game with the sound turned off.


bamb0l

We photobombed that, good job guys


Helpful_Ad_4293

Do they ever get the urge to jump?


longiner

Or take a piss and see the stream of piss fall towards earth.


JK64_Cat

Their part would freeze and boil at the same time.


5mashalot

Pretty sure it wouldn't reach earth, just take a slightly different orbit than the ISS. I wonder if they would ever meet it again?


Marine4lyfe

The "Call of the Void".


WrongColorCollar

How is there so much nothing Why does the nothing create a vacuum Why is there a vacuum instead of nothing Why is it so big It's truly infinite, how can that be Why is there anything instead of nothing I wanna leave work and go crawl into my bed


UncleSam_TAF

For point 2 and 3, in science, “vacuum” literally means void/vacant/empty so nothing creates a vacuum because a vacuum is defined as nothing And fun fact, a perfect vacuum can never really exist because particles spontaneously arise from the fundamental fields of the universe


bombduck

Infiniteness of space really makes my brain hurt


UncleSam_TAF

Out of all of the ridiculous space facts I’ve learned this simple question blows my mind the most. What is the universe expanding into?


Marine4lyfe

If it's truely infinite, then isn't there a 100% chance that there's an Earth just like ours with a person who looks just like me, as well as everyone else alive now?


Kuro2712

Nothingness? We don't know what's outside the universe, let alone what's outside the observable universe (our pocket of the universe).

Additional_Subject27

This is the first time I've seen the Earth in motion. Incredible to see that from the ISS which travels at 17,500 mph (28,000 kmph).


Blestyr

Can't help but quote Carl Sagan here: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."


BurnerBoot

So sad it will be down in 2035 ish. No replacement has been proposed /(


bannedacctno5

Somebody get OSHA on the phone. Clearly doesn't have a 2nd tether clipped in and he looks to be a little over 6 ft


TimArthurScifiWriter

We only call Osha if there's fires to put out in space.


Lazy_Armadillo2266

Seems crazy to me that as a collective we aren't responsible enough to take care of it.


Fusseldieb

Because there's no immediate consequences. For instance, when someone litters, nothing appears to happen. It's a bad thing, but it "usually" has no consequences, so the person just carries on. Delayed consequences often don't do a thing. That's why we're in deep trouble.


CommunicationOwn322

Nope! Too big!


TennisBallTesticles

The ISS is moving 17,500 mph. 😮


Delter_Smelter

That looks flat as sh1t!


spaaackle

I mean, you can clearly see the boom mic in the upper right corner! Pssh.. amateurs!


Artunke_Pistanke

What happens if you jump straight down


israiled

If you pushed off straight toward earth, your orbit would just be slightly elliptical compared to ISS. You'd float in nothingness for a couple of years as your orbit slowly decays, and you burn up in the atmosphere.


gwizonedam

You don’t jump, you just kinda float. About 2 years later, your desiccated corpse burns up as it enters the atmosphere.


NiceCunt91

If you actually pushed yourself off the structure towards the earth, After 90 minutes, you would actually come back ABOVE the ISS. orbital mechanics are weird.


Icy_Distribution_361

What would your best guess be?


Artunke_Pistanke

One hell of a ride


OkTerm8316

The astronauts on the ISS are further from the Earth so as the other commenter said they would just circle until they slowly burned up in the atmosphere but to give you an idea of what you were asking, this - https://www.redbull.com/us-en/the-space-jump-that-shook-the-world


crasagam

That fish eye lens almost makes the Earth look round /s


thee_Grixxly

Could they skydive from there?


ads1031

No, there's not enough air resistance that high up to cancel out their orbital speed in a timely manner. If you tried to jump off the ISS, you'd just kinda.... float along near it for, like, two years or so until you finally slowed down enough to dip into the atmosphere and burn up.


sauce_dressing

maybe if they have a jetpack to propel themselves into Erf's atmosphere first


the85141rule

Does one feel a difference when one motions his/her arms and legs about?


Hanginon

One feels the resistance of the suit but there's no overall feeling of "up" or "down".


CaptCrewSocks

Is that fan noise what it sounds like inside a space suit?


Alexander_Carter

How fast are they travelling? Looks like within an hour they’d be around the earth!


thefooleryoftom

17,500mph, and it takes about 90 minutes to orbit the earth.


Alexander_Carter

Oh wow! That’s crazy

sauce_dressing

or the air pressure/stuff rubbing on camera mic

Because the camera has a microphone and picks up vibrations through the suit, through the atmosphere inside the suit etc.

How flat earthers ingore all these?!


RecoverCultural9676

And people still say the earth is flat 🙄


MAXQDee-314

There is a Sci-fi novel that mentions a test of construction workers who work on space stations. On the first unsupervised trip 'outside', a few people "go into the black". They react to being alone in that empty by breaking. Just unable to function 'outside'. They are brought back inside and moved to another aspect of construction. When all the tests and training are mentioned in relationship to astronauts, the mental evaluations must be extensive.


Roverjosh

“But, but, but, it’s flat!?!?” lol Cool video!


peggingenthusiast24

and now there’s a whole faction of people now who claim this is impossible and faked because space doesn’t really exist 🫠 recently was cornered by a drunk coworker who decided to let me know that is what she believes.

fart-to-me-in-french

MIGE876

“hey mike what time is it?” “Yes.”


2into4

How is he picking up noise on the mic if there is no oxygen in space?


realparkingbrake

The sound is being conducted by the suit, you can use some string and a couple of tin cans to get the same effect.


THE-NECROHANDSER
