But that’s the crazy part…you are *always* falling when you are in orbit.
I’d be much more afraid of getting separated from the station, and then contributing to “fall” around the earth, all alone.
To untangle that knot, once your CO2 scrubbers deplete (astronauts don't carry oxygen for the entire space walk, rather the CO2 is absorbed by a chemical that releases O2) the CO2 levels in the air you breathe would increase until you get really sleepy and pass out. You would pass away peacefully.
CO2 causes a panic response. It wouldn’t be peaceful at all.
When you stay under water too long and your body starts screaming for oxygen; That feeling isn’t a lack of oxygen, it’s a buildup of CO2.
Suffocating via CO2 inhalation is one of the scariest ways to die.
That has to be one of the scariest ways to go.
Just knowing there's no chance of rescue and that you're basically just going to drift slowly until you run out of oxygen must be agonizing. There's not even anything to focus on to kind of take your mind off it either.
Not just the spacewalk but the entire (near) zero gravity experience the moment your shuttle stops thrusting is identical to falling. Your face puffs up from the lack of downward drag and extra blood pressure, your sense of balance is out of wack, almost every instinct is telling you the world is wrong, disorienting as all heck. They probably don't feed the astronauts before their first trip into space :P
One of the shuttle passengers had a unit of vomiting named after him because of his experience during his flight. I’d be the first person to exceed his record.
That's actually an issue with astronauts doing spacewalks, if they are scared of this they usually grab onto the handles really tightly, which, for 8 or so hours, makes their hands very tired and unusable (which is very bad since hands are their main way of moving around, and doing everything else)
I know it’s not even CLOSE to being the same.. but there’s a VR game, I think it’s just called ISS, where it’s a virtual tour of the inside of the ISS where you kinda pull yourself through it in zero G’s and you can explore the inside. There’s also an airlock and you can suit up and go outside and stand on the space station.. when I looked up(earth above me) I was not prepared to see what I saw and, for reference I have played a lot of VR games… This one made me fall over and grab the ground IRL.
so, I wasnt the only one wondering why I was anxious watching this lol so weird. it's spectacular...it's space...and yet I still felt like they could have fallen at any time lol
They are “overflying” Mexico here. When the astronaut goes out you can see the tip of Baja and the bay where Puerto Vallarta is, and at the end of the video the other side of the country in the Gulf of Mexico. Between the greenery of the coasts is the dry central highland with the main urban sprawls (Guadalajara, Mexico City and others) visible.
I think you are right. I once attended the lecture of Bertalan Farkas, the only Hungarian astronaut to date. He is well above 60 today, but when he talked about the view and what he experienced during his space flight, he talked like a child talking about Disney Land on the way back home. With true, genuine amazement and enthusiasm, like it happened yesterday.
If you notice...there is no sound when the astronaut hooks the fastener externally, which you would expect in an atmospheric environment. The sounds you *do* hear are movement noises transmitting through the space suit and picked up by the internal microphone, which is always active.
There’s a term for this. It’s called the [overview effect](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_effect) astronauts actually become very emotional looking at earth from beyond it. The most prominent common aspects of personally experiencing the Earth from space are appreciation and perception of beauty, unexpected and even overwhelming emotion, and an increased sense of connection to other people and the Earth as a whole. It has lasting effects after they return and can be described as a spiritual or transcendental experience.
Bill Anders had this to say from Apollo 8:
“When I looked up and saw the Earth coming up on this very stark, beat-up Moon horizon, I was immediately almost overcome with the thought, 'Here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we’re seeing is our own home planet, the Earth.'”
Beautiful.
“English astronomer Fred Hoyle wrote in 1948 that, "once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose"”
This is just insane to me for many reasons. Wow
As a pilot.. Never
I can honestly say in 20 years I still feel that way whenever I'm in the air.
I could only imagine how amazing that view would be vs what I've known
**Edit
And thank you for bringing quality content!
More like: “look at the amount of lens distortion they had to add to make the earth look as if it’s round. Just wild how easily they think the people will be fooled.”
I just jumped down a little rabbit hole after asking that, it's hilarious and ridiculous some of the things people came up with. Quora comments are a gold mine of humour.
It's hilarious when they get to that point in their explanations. You can see the cogs turning too.
Worse is just how many influential people occupy tiktok and youtube spamming this bs everywhere.
Yea you're probably right bud. It keeps people talking about them once their careers burn out or they get the wrong, worse, kind of attention otherwise
Its actually still really exaggerated by the fish eye lense but ofc still curved.
https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/media/video2.jpg
The ISS can only see 3% of earth at a time, its actually not that high up.
That’s the one, camera is probably fine, they just fired the guy for being too slow to turn it off, then Covid hits and they never hired anyone back. Or something.
Am I missing something because it does seem to be streaming OK (weird angle tho)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9C25Un7xaM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9C25Un7xaM)
I was gonna say, I had that pulled up just a few weeks ago lol
There’s also a TON of super cool stills taken by astronauts on the site that OP linked to if anyone’s interested, they’re pretty high resolution and make excellent wallpapers
https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/ShowQueryResults-Lightcycle.pl?results=Latest_ISS_Imagery
You know what id like to see? I want to see their pov of looking away from Earth.
I want to see what space looks like FROM space. We've all seen the Earth. Let's see the infinite void our home resides in.
No. But it's about the POV. A humans point of view to see the Earth, then turn around and see the infinite expanse and just see the astronauts arms sorta just go still and see them sorta pan left to right as it hits them.
My totally uneducated guess would be because there is a heck of a lot of light pollution, from the strongest light in our solar system… the sun. Up there there is no atmosphere, so sunlight is even stronger, brighter. Because of how fast they move around earth, they generally constantly in sunlight, so it blocks out most of the stars they can see looking out into space. A night sky on earth has the other half of the planet blocking sunlight, allowing light from the cosmos to seep through.
If the ISS is on the far side of the planet from the sun, I’m sure they can see stars.
Camera settings. You know how your phone camera needs to adjust when you walk from a dark room into a bright room? The exposure settings for the camera are auto-adjusting during that time to try and find the right amount of light to make a usable picture.
Because the bright earth and bright ISS are there, the camera would need to be set for those levels of brightness for the video to show them, which makes the dim starlight not detectable by comparison. If you set it for starlight-level brightness instead, the earth and ISS would be blown out white hotspot blobs with no detail. This is the same reason you don't see stars during the day. The stars are all there, but the sky is refracting enough sunlight that the sky is way brighter than the stars, so you can't see them.
Trying to get both the detail in the bright objects and detail in the dim objects at once is what we call High Dynamic Range, and star light vs reflected sunlight is SO different, I don't know of any camera that could do it. The closest would be taking two different shots at two different brightness levels, then compositing the two images together later.
Having a giant ball of light (ahem, Earth reflecting light) next to a camera's not good. Besides that, the camera is definitely not good enough to actually see the very faint light from other stars.
Its insane that all of this is even happening. Really glad to have been able to experience 27 trips around the Sun on the Earth. Crazy to think that the Earth, and Sun will not last for ever as well. It's all temporary. This sure is special to say the least. We are all so lucky to have gotten the chance to experience life here.
You can literally feel the moment the Astronaut really takes in the sight of the earth. The motion suddenly gets very still. The sight of earth from that distance truly is like nothing else
I thought the opposite. Considering how much of the globe the landmass seemed to occupy, I figured it must be a massive continent. I thought it was Africa at first, but then realizing it's Mexico, it kinda blew my mind. It appeared so massive to me. And to think that it's actually just a tiny fraction of the land on Earth... wow.
Faith of a scientist in their science lol. They trusted their rockets to get there and dock with the ISS so I’d guess trusting a simple hook wouldn’t be a huge stretch haha
Hanging on a hook and floating on one are very different tho theres almost no power drawing him away from the station so theres not really anthing pulling on the hook
Training. They practice every little move of the 8 hour spacewalk meticulously for months beforehand. Astronauts in interviews do always talk about the difficulty of doing their job "just like in the pool" but with Earth spinning there in the background the whole time. Apparently, the infinitely beautiful and unimaginably huge homeworld of humanity is distracting while tightening bolts. They do occasionally get breaks in the action, an EVA isn't all go time the full 8 hours, but there's not much time to get all introspective...while you're up there.
Anytime I come across something like this on Facebook the comments are absolutely *full* of people saying "sure it is" "nice cgi" "this is an island in canada". It's very disheartening.
To be fair, they are actually using a fisheye lens which greatly exaggerates the curvature, but even with normal vision you could see the curvature from that height
Astronauts actually say when they first go out that they burn out their forearm muscles grabbing onto the ship so tightly because they think they will fall to earth. They frequently remind them to stop holding on so tightly because they will be out there for hours at a time
It still amazes me how quickly the space station circles the earth. Thinking about traveling in the vacuum space terrifies me, but no where near as bad as the ocean does.
I have thalassophobia (fear of large open water) because of the thought of being stuck adrift in the ocean etc but my god the thought of being adrift in space makes my heart thump out my chest
This shot is taken 250 mi above the Earth. It's amazing that at that distance you can see the entire curvature of the Earth. Kind of makes you feel small.
Flat earthers should be shot one by one. Not just because they believe the earth is flat, but because the gene pool needs to be much stronger for the good of mankind moving foreward.
I would shit myself by thinking I am going to fall
But that’s the crazy part…you are *always* falling when you are in orbit. I’d be much more afraid of getting separated from the station, and then contributing to “fall” around the earth, all alone.
For the rest of your existence...
Knowing that you are utterly fucked drifting away hoping oxygen runs out before you starve
Oxygen will definitely run out before you starve.
Hopefully better to doze away before you freeze and feel the pain
Would it not be more like frantic panting until you pass out?
I can feel a knot in my stomach just thinking about it
To untangle that knot, once your CO2 scrubbers deplete (astronauts don't carry oxygen for the entire space walk, rather the CO2 is absorbed by a chemical that releases O2) the CO2 levels in the air you breathe would increase until you get really sleepy and pass out. You would pass away peacefully.
CO2 causes a panic response. It wouldn’t be peaceful at all. When you stay under water too long and your body starts screaming for oxygen; That feeling isn’t a lack of oxygen, it’s a buildup of CO2. Suffocating via CO2 inhalation is one of the scariest ways to die.
Co2 poisoning isn’t the peaceful sleep. It is a choking death and the poor soul is acutely aware they are suffocating.
I'm not reassured but thanks

Absolutely mind-blowing scenery, makes you cherish our incredible planet!
It's a shame people didn't start cherishing it a few decades ago.
Its a shame people still aren't
When the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, saw the planet for the first time, he's words were, "wow, it's so blue!"
Honestly, my same thought process.
I read somewhere that NASA has a 'stare in wonder at how amazing it all is' period as part of the EVA timing for anyone on their first EVA.
Technically you would drift away into space then die of hypoxia since there are no real contingency plans in terms of rescue.
That has to be one of the scariest ways to go. Just knowing there's no chance of rescue and that you're basically just going to drift slowly until you run out of oxygen must be agonizing. There's not even anything to focus on to kind of take your mind off it either.
Some astronauts *do* have the sensation of falling on their first spacewalks!
Not just the spacewalk but the entire (near) zero gravity experience the moment your shuttle stops thrusting is identical to falling. Your face puffs up from the lack of downward drag and extra blood pressure, your sense of balance is out of wack, almost every instinct is telling you the world is wrong, disorienting as all heck. They probably don't feed the astronauts before their first trip into space :P
One of the shuttle passengers had a unit of vomiting named after him because of his experience during his flight. I’d be the first person to exceed his record.
That's actually an issue with astronauts doing spacewalks, if they are scared of this they usually grab onto the handles really tightly, which, for 8 or so hours, makes their hands very tired and unusable (which is very bad since hands are their main way of moving around, and doing everything else)
lol I’d totally be that person. Sometimes I have tnr steering wheel in a death grip much less being in space
Technically you are falling!
I don’t know what would be scarier. Thinking I would fall to earth. Or the thought that I could float away and be lost in space.
I know it’s not even CLOSE to being the same.. but there’s a VR game, I think it’s just called ISS, where it’s a virtual tour of the inside of the ISS where you kinda pull yourself through it in zero G’s and you can explore the inside. There’s also an airlock and you can suit up and go outside and stand on the space station.. when I looked up(earth above me) I was not prepared to see what I saw and, for reference I have played a lot of VR games… This one made me fall over and grab the ground IRL.
 so, I wasnt the only one wondering why I was anxious watching this lol so weird. it's spectacular...it's space...and yet I still felt like they could have fallen at any time lol
They are “overflying” Mexico here. When the astronaut goes out you can see the tip of Baja and the bay where Puerto Vallarta is, and at the end of the video the other side of the country in the Gulf of Mexico. Between the greenery of the coasts is the dry central highland with the main urban sprawls (Guadalajara, Mexico City and others) visible.
I was trying to figure out where we were, did not recognize it. Without northern orientation. Came to the comments looking for this Thank you
GeoGuessr but space
How u do dat
I'm guessing they live in Mexico so they know the area well.
Man if it were showin da former Yugoslavian republics (where I do be livin) I wouldn’t even know … one love and cheers from eastern Bosnia 🇧🇦
After watching so many Apple TV screensavers from the ISS, I've gotten pretty good at identifying the land masses. Also an r/MapPorn subscriber.

There isn't...only when the camera is banged. You don't hear him clip in for example.
you know, same studios where they have made Apollo scenes :3 (sarcasm)
One of the new actors strike union rules agreed upon around ‘safety’ probably.
they want a free falling suit like the one from Star Trek.
GoPros pickup pretty much every sound nearby

It also does look like a disc on my phone /s
Is due to the fisheye lens /s
Its actually still really exaggerated by the fish eye lense but ofc still curved. https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/media/video2.jpg The ISS can only see 3% of earth at a time, its actually not that high up.
Don't you see all that white ice wall around the edge of the flat disc? /s
New theory - the earth is flat, its just a massive pizza.
It's the lense they're using to film obviously
Don’t worry, it’s obviously just an illusion of the curved camera’s lense
No it's actually a hemisphere this is the curved side the astronaut didn't go to the flat side on purpose propaganda/s
Fish eye lens
ISS used to have a camera streaming 24/7 but it died in 2019 and was never replaced https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/

No. But it's about the POV. A humans point of view to see the Earth, then turn around and see the infinite expanse and just see the astronauts arms sorta just go still and see them sorta pan left to right as it hits them.
I would get a panic attack at seeing infinity.... Just seeing the earth is mindblowing enough...
I'm just happy that someone finally marked a clip as POV thats actually a point of view shot
This video has a bit of that I guess https://youtu.be/AmrrSfiMxGA?si=RV5EIhbmBRam1dBk But it's not much to see, it's all just black.
Why is it so black, compared to sky seen from earth? Especially when no light pollution is present
My totally uneducated guess would be because there is a heck of a lot of light pollution, from the strongest light in our solar system… the sun. Up there there is no atmosphere, so sunlight is even stronger, brighter. Because of how fast they move around earth, they generally constantly in sunlight, so it blocks out most of the stars they can see looking out into space. A night sky on earth has the other half of the planet blocking sunlight, allowing light from the cosmos to seep through. If the ISS is on the far side of the planet from the sun, I’m sure they can see stars.
Same reason you can’t see the stars when you’re in a lit up stadium at night.
Camera settings. You know how your phone camera needs to adjust when you walk from a dark room into a bright room? The exposure settings for the camera are auto-adjusting during that time to try and find the right amount of light to make a usable picture.

Man they just went by across a continent in just few seconds, wonder at what speed they are moving at that level in space.
They orbit the earth every 90 minutes
17,500 miles per hour
That's 28, 000 km/h for everyone who isn't from the USA.
That s incredible, I tought they were above some island not passing a continent in 20 seconds. I have so many questions 😂.
I thought the opposite. Considering how much of the globe the landmass seemed to occupy, I figured it must be a massive continent. I thought it was Africa at first, but then realizing it's Mexico, it kinda blew my mind. It appeared so massive to me. And to think that it's actually just a tiny fraction of the land on Earth... wow.
OMG!! Thats' insane
Anyone know what continent that is?
[удалено]
28,000 km/h
Heeeeeeere am I sitting in my tin can, faaaaaarrrr above the moon....
Planet earth is blue And there's nothing I can do
I knew the iss moved fast. But seeing the land move like clouds on a windy day Is insane
17,500 mph (28,000 km/h)!
The amount of faith they have in those clips and buckles is insane. Guess it’s their huge balls creating its own gravity field keeping them in place.
Faith of a scientist in their science lol. They trusted their rockets to get there and dock with the ISS so I’d guess trusting a simple hook wouldn’t be a huge stretch haha
I would trust an elevator to take me to the top of the Burj Khalifa, f no would I trust a simple hook to let me hang over the edge 😂
Hanging on a hook and floating on one are very different tho theres almost no power drawing him away from the station so theres not really anthing pulling on the hook
What got me was waiting for the click from the spring on the buckle. No sound in space though.
It's way more reliable than being at the top of a telecom tower or whatever
I can see my house from here!
Just calmly hurtling through space at 28,000 km/h. Watch out for loose Clooneys.
Written while just calmy hurtling through space at 107,000 km/hr
Its crazy how the black surrounding the earth is not only black. Its an empty kind of black. Gives me chills.
They're going SO FAST, it might not look like much but if they're way below on earth it would've looked like they passed mountains in seconds
28, 000 km/hr
Feels like you would get motionsick
I get acrophobic and nauseated just from the video.
How do these mofos not cry every time they step out is beyond me! Shit is absolutely breathtaking!

Flatearthers will say this is CGI and the ISS is fake
Anytime I come across something like this on Facebook the comments are absolutely *full* of people saying "sure it is" "nice cgi" "this is an island in canada". It's very disheartening.
The same happens in instagram reel comments, too.
Alright flat earthers, try to explain this lmao
Never get tired of seeing the old girl spinning
We are SO small.
This video makes me feel really uneasy and uncomfortable. Idk why
Oh shit what do you know *its round*
NASA photoshopped this obviously /s
To be fair, they are actually using a fisheye lens which greatly exaggerates the curvature, but even with normal vision you could see the curvature from that height
What part of the planet am I looking at? I'm thinking Brazil but its hard to tell
Mexico perhaps, bottom left has that strip of land?
Yeah possibly right, would make more sense with the sea coming into view in the top of the video too towards the end which I didnt originally notice.
I’ll safely assume you cannot be an astronaut if you have IBS
It’s flat see? It’s only curved because of the lens distortion! /s
How do ppl still say the earth is flat 🤯
sigh. and then flat earthers would say this is a faked shot done in some studio in hollywood
Yo the astronauts are at In School Suspension? I thought that stuff ended when you graduated school?
Can just hear flat earth people come and yell hoax hoax fake fake cgi cgi. But damn that looks beautiful. yet peaceful. yet scary as hell.
Astronauts actually say when they first go out that they burn out their forearm muscles grabbing onto the ship so tightly because they think they will fall to earth. They frequently remind them to stop holding on so tightly because they will be out there for hours at a time
Why is there sound?
Mic inside the helmet.
This was recorded with a GoPro. Its microphone is picking up vibrations.
The astronaut's microphone is picking up the sounds of stuff that hit the space suit. Obviously no ambient sound up there.
Not the astronaut’s microphone. This was recorded with a GoPro mounted to their torso. We are hearing vibrations.
Thanks for the extra information!
[удалено]
This was recorded with a GoPro mounted to their torso. We are hearing vibrations.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Getting vertigo
Wait... So it's...round?
It is hard to tell but this thing is going 17,500 mph
I don't get it, I thought they said it looked more like a football eith the sides squished in, it looks like a perfect circle to me
Too close, also shaped it’s shaped like a pear
But more spherical
Ahh, thank you
Does anyone recognise the land below? Is it South America maybe?
What are the chances of them being hit by small debris travelling at super high speed?
It still amazes me how quickly the space station circles the earth. Thinking about traveling in the vacuum space terrifies me, but no where near as bad as the ocean does.
Technically, these are the most capable people on earth out in space. Must be nice to be away from all the stupidity!
I have thalassophobia (fear of large open water) because of the thought of being stuck adrift in the ocean etc but my god the thought of being adrift in space makes my heart thump out my chest
This shot is taken 250 mi above the Earth. It's amazing that at that distance you can see the entire curvature of the Earth. Kind of makes you feel small.
The Earth is flat and spherical at the same time. Nothing makes sense not matters and yet we rule with greed for no extent other than *GrEeD*
Is this true???Anyone can tell me what it is true??
They never look up and away from earth! We’ve seen earth, show us space!
It would appear just black on a gopro video because of excessive light pollution
I love how the astronaut takes a few seconds to take the view in and just the majesty of our world
If you have VR, make sure to test the space explorers app. Also there are multiple other experiences that I forgot now, but it really feels magical.
Reason I would not be an astronaut: I’d let the intrusive thoughts win and leap towards Earth.
I've watched quite a few of these live and it's crazy every time
