This is a wonderful visit inside the International Space Station. Astronaut Garrett Reisman, Expedition 17 flight engineer, films parts of his day May 7th 2008. Ride along as Reisman narrates the sights and sounds of a “typical” day at 17500 mph 225 miles above the Earth. Our thanks to Garrett for the video, nicely done, and to NASA for making it all possible. See Dr. Reisman on The Colbert Report www.comedycentral.com
Video Rating: 5 / 5
The astronaut your are watching has never flown a plane in his life. Many of our astronauts today are engineers and scientists. If it really is something you want doc, go for it. Look into where your degree, and the advanced degrees that might follow become a NASA mission.
I would love to be an asronaut. Im almost finished my engineering degree. Now all i need is a thousand hours flying a jet plane and im on the way ha
Indeed!
Thanks for that, this was uploaded before the days of HD. I’m hoping to get NASA to put this and more like it up in HD.
Well put, they do have to boost the station occasionally to maintain 220-25 miles up.
Hehe, yeah I love Garrett he is awesome. The music however got me in a bit of hot water with youtube. lols
The ISS is actually falling toward the center of the earth,but in the same time moving around it very fast,maintaining an orbit.
I would complain about 240p but it looks pretty good in space
Having a parrot rc drone on the iss would be AMAZING
I wonder how when you swallow, if it is harder because of the microgravity?
lol, read the sign in the top left corner @ 7:21
Im doing a presentation on space flight and its effects on the human body.
This whole segment is awesome! I thought it was really interesting how Garrett said in Part 1 that you grow in space! I had no idea!
It is my new goal to someday be able to experience a day in microgravity! Soooo legit!
He SERIOUSLY needs his own show somehow. Like a live stream, or something on discovery….ANYTHING! He’s awesome.
This is amazing stuff! Thank you for recording this.
Busy operating the laser cannons, obviously.
@adrianfi7 If you’re going to gripe about people of the world being robbed blind how about targeting the endless wars around the world that waste trillions while destroying humanity rather than this shining example of people of the world working together to continually push the horizons of our perceptions and understanding. Hello!!
3:54 Hey there Delilah is playuing
Once they get going that fast while leaving earth and going into orbit, gravity isn’t strong enough to slow them down and there’s no air resistance. So effectively, once you get up to a certain speed there’s no force to slow you down, keeping the ISS going around the earth at that speed perpetually.
at least the not playung any justin bieber!!
I love the song “Bad”, by U2.
did you know that hes I.Q. is 160?
i dont understand how your moving at 17,000 miles per hour, there is no motor pushing you so how is it going that fast? or is this a dumb question
@Mikkedev Ok yes Space exploration is good but for now it´s out of limits Right now we are like little children pretending to cross the atlantic on a paper toy ship, it´s stupid and dangerous.
How nice people of the world being rob blind of billions so this bozo and his nutty communist friends can grow an inch, play with their food and eat their toothpaste. Off course he was not going to tell us anything about what they really do up there. A day in the life of a cleaning maid at the Holliday Inn would be just as fun. NASA is a cruel joke for all mankind.
Last thing you want is to listen to depressing songs, I am sure there is no Slayer allowed. =(
