Actually . Warning. Big brain. You wouldn't float away, at least not rapidly but they invented these wonderful things called extinction cords so the astronaut could not float away. Now it the moon and earth were to be orbiting the same direction then the gravity in space spirituality pull you away
@vladimir putin is andrei panin jfk is jimmy carter buy a drone and fly up there yourself, literally I love some good conspiracy theories, but people who spread shit that has easily been debunked 99x over are annoying
Mochie you need to be really smart to be an astounaut and i think he'll be smart enough to know that there is gravity and plus you can't drink using a mug in space edit: its not fly its*float*
@d R In space there's no sensation of being upright and inverted, so it can be very disorienting. Apart from that astronauts take the risk of suffering from osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, glaucoma and radiation. For long distance space travel suspended animation is the only way. This way we won't be damaging their body
It's amazing to see all the nuance and thought that goes into adapting and perfecting living in space. It's so meticulous. Mr. Hadfield also seems like a super cool "down to earth" kinda guy.
OK, so i have a great story about getting sick in space. My uncle Matt Macintosh was an engineer for Rockwell and worked on everything as an environmental specialist and got assigned to work with a team of others on things like CO2 scrubber and so on but also got assigned the toilette. It was basically a vacuum with a freeze dryer at the other end. My Mom and Dad were over at my aunt and uncles place to play cards one night and since my father was doing R&D work on radar systems, a techie guy, he was asking my uncle about the systems he was working on and he described the toilette and said it had the capability to service each of 7 astronauts once ever 8 hours. My aunt Nella being a mother of 7 asked after a few minutes about what happens when or if one of them gets sick, meaning the flu and diarrhea. See they had 7 kids she knew that if one of them got sick that way then more than half of them would get sick also and that if they could only use the toilette once every 8 hours, well things would get ugly and messy really quick because the system would be overloaded. Imagine liquid poop floating around inside the space shuttle, UGH. They all laughed but my uncle got this serious look on his face. My mom told me that after several minutes he excused himself from the game and had to call NASA to say they had a huge problem since the very first launch was less than 48 hours away it being April 10th late at night and the launch was scheduled for the morning of the 12th. There was no time to solve the problem that all the engineers had missed. It took a mother of 7 kids about 4 seconds to see a gross problem for them. The temporary solution they used was left over diapers from the Apollo and Gemini missions as a fall back. Could have been really ugly up there. It is interesting to note the Hadfield only addressed vomiting and not the flu.
I would imagine there are no sicknesses like flu/stomach virus causing diarrhea since it's such a sterile environment and zero bacteria since it's its literally out of this world away from all germs within society amongst the general population.
Not everybody is suited, indeed. But dont make the mistake of thinking that those guys are born to do that: they go through years and years of very intense training. And not all of them actually make it to the ISS 👍
What about if you get a disease or illness in space? Do they store all their medicine up there? What if one specific type of medicine isn't available on the ISS? Do they then have to come back down? Or do they wait out the sickness and hope they get better naturally?
do you realy think that a biological contamination is possible in space? When you are sick in earth, you got contamined by another sick person, even inderectly. Nasa send astronauts after highly testing them for diseases, and there is a quarantaine time, in this way they are no microbes getting from earth to the space station.
Astronaut: **Goes on EVA to fix sth or idk** Astronaut: **Looks prograde** Astronaut: **S N E E Z E** ISS: **Deorbits** This didn’t make any sense but I decided to post it
Him complaining about having the bag of sick made me laugh. At least here we got the crystals in the bag to sort it also some are made that after you seal it completely you can then break it into the crystals. Smh
well if a world wide event causes the death of all humans, at least the people in the I.S.S will survive for a while longer until they inevitably run out of food.
The ISS needs to be refueled 3-4 times a year, so unless the ISS finds a way to generate fuel out of nothing up there, they will fall down to Earth pretty quick.
Seeing the conservation of momentum in space is soo cool. Like when he tries to keep the microphone still but any little tap is not dampened by friction. And when he let the other barf bag go and it moved upward out of frame and then came back down because it hit the wall with a semi-elastic collision.
The way he held up the microphone and then just lets it float just made me do that thing where your soul transcends to your conscience and your body is just there like a shell staring into nothing
bit late to the party, but i heard that they have to go on a treadmill for at least 2 hours a day to maintain the muscle they need to be on earth with all the gravity. it’s easy to forget how to perform tasks normally after being up there for so long.
And they frequently drop things on the ground for the first few days because they forget that they dont float so they just let go of objects while holding them up in the air and they break glass cups and things frequently
BlackVortexX they use a “space toilet” which sucks out the poop, freezes it, then gets returned to earth. For peeing they use a tube which when they pee, it sucks the urine and is cleaned through a machine and get remade to drinking water
The toilets on the ISS have suction fans to suck the fecal matter into waste containers. The astronauts secure themselves to the toilet with foot clamps, turn on the fan switch, and let loose.
@@417Owsy The crew of Apollo 7 got sick with head colds while in space, and they were absolutely miserable. It ended up with the crew arguing with Mission Control.
