Is this feed in real time? The NASA site has it approaching Argentina right from the western direction.

It says it's live every 45 minutes. It's a 90 minute circuit.

I am now convinced its looped recorded footage. Beautiful, but not in real time like it says.

I feel dirty. Sorry if I misled anyone. I was duped.

Science is awesome.

The curvature of the Earth is always exaggerated by the camera lense. They are 250 miles high max. On the video it looks like there 8,000 miles away from Earth.

I don't understand how they can do a space walk when ISS travels something like 17,000 mph. Mind blown!

How do you disable smoke detectors in airplane bathrooms traveling 550 MPH?

Somehow, the media totally overlooked this. Didn't know it was on, thanks.


It's science. Science is uncool to the general public and the media wants ratings.

It’s not like trying to service the wing of an airplane at 30,000 ft. There is no air resistance so their speed is inconsequential for a spacewalk.

Missed it tonight due to clouds but did see it last night.

My 10 year old daughter thought it was so cool. She
called it a spaceship. I told her that it has spaceships docked with it.

She wanted to know what lives on it. When I told her humans, she was amazed.

Now she's hooked.

The earth orbits the sun at 67,000 mph, and we do earth walks all the time.

It has nothing to do with that. The simple answer is there is no wind in space.
