Why does everybody use mach to measure speed in a vacuum,? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m quite sure that a mach number is the result of a calculation of the speed of an object and the density of the atmosphere, if there is no atmosphere, how can a mach number be implemented?
Mach number is a ratio between the speed of something and the speed of sound in the given environment which makes it dimensionless and not really a measure of speed. People like to "dimensionalize" Mach numbers by assuming that the exact setting involves the earth's atmosphere at the average temperature at sea level. Even then, that's only the upstream Mach number since the speed of sound gets significantly faster whenever compression work is done and the gas is getting hotter.
I mean, it makes sense. If you've ever downloaded the ISS Tracker App and watched it fly by at its actual altitude, it's truly amazing how quickly it gets in and out of your view. A good direct overhead fly by only lasts a few short minutes from appearing to disappearing, and in the app you can see how much land it covers in that time span.
It's about ten minutes from horizon to horizon. Either from NW to SE or from SW to NE depending the part of the period of the sinusoidal that you catch. A nice watch to see, kind of a family hobby when we are outside right after dawn. Bright as Venus.

@@edonslow1456 I am wrong. Lets do a bit of math. The ISS orbits at an altitude of 250 miles. Using the Omni horizon calculator, the horizon from whence it can be first seen is 1440 miles away. That means it travels 2880 miles from horizon to horizon. At 17500 mph, this means the ISS will take about 10 minutes, whilst it is in view.
@@5blocksmc979 dude, the fucking tower was hit by the ISS at mach 22. You really think there is going to BE any first tower?!?!? That is the second tower you see my man. The first one was pulverized into its core molecular structers in a matter of milliseconds when the first ISS hit.
Would there be much left after the first one?... It has nearly 3 kilotons of kinetic energy. Even if it's not delivered in the most effective way, that's still nearly two Douglas AIR-2 Genies.
I spotted the ISS once overhead just after sunset (India). The flare was momentarily brighter than Venus and the speed with which it flew was astonishing. I got back to my room less than half an hour later and discovered it was already past Japan. The speed is ridiculous!
Speed is ridiculous, but still nothing in space. Even lightspeed is nothing in the universe. There are objects in space, 13 billion light-years away. So light needs 13 billion years to reach them.☹️ No chance for us to get there, sadly. We need wormholes or so. Cutting corners.

@@YBehri Why limiting yourself at strictly following parallels? We can start in the northern hemisphere and encircle Earth by diagonal, entering southern hemisphere.
You can't orbit on a parallel, unless it's the equator. Your ground track will always cross the equator and go into the northern and southern hemispheres. This is why you always want to launch as close to the equator as possible (unless your goal is a polar orbit), which is why the US uses Florida and the Soviets chose Baikonur.

@@texasfossilguy it is this fast, but not this low. it sits in low earth orbit and because theres is no air resistance or anything stopping it from moving it just makes a steady orbit around earth every 90 minutes
Thanks for doing this man!! Something else that would be cool is looking at the different speeds of things like missiles and bullets. Could also do the speed of different planets and comets!!
WITH air resistance, that think would have turned into a red glowing fireball in a few seconds. Still VERY NICE to see for illustration how fast it goes. THANK YOU, great video!
This crossed my mind too, but I concluded that the shockwave would be extremely short-lived, a tiny fraction of a second. After that, the whole thing would burn up and evaporate in the dense atmosphere. At this speed, even the air is like a concrete block.
@@rnzoli My comment was more hypothetical much like the video itself. I doupt the ISS could reach 100mph without running into serious integrity issues.
I've always wondered what 17500 mph looks like! Also, I feel as though it could be even better in VR since you can experience the perspective and angular velocity firsthand. Great content, nonetheless!
@@hansvonflammenwerfer2817 this is a simulation, it cant be possible beacause of drag force, thrust, friction and some other physics , the atmosphere does not allow an object, device, space shuttle or space station to travel at such a speed within our atmosphere, he would be torn apart, due to the various friction points of the ISS station this would be physically impossible, the video is a simulation for us to understand what it would be like if it were possible to see the path it takes at a height of 10000 feet. If you have doubts just google about >>space shuttle atmosphere reentry
What kind of blows my mind is that we've invented machines (rockets) that can go this fast, because of course all the ISS parts had to be launched up there into LEO. This forced perspective shows just how crazy insanely fast rockets can really go, and we've only been making them for barely more than half a century.
What blows my mind more is that cpu's can perform billions of operations per second and each transistor inside them is only a few times larger than an atom. One rocket during ww2 wouldn't mean much, but a modern cpu would change the entire course of the war.
@@puppergump4117 I believe the Turing machine was invented around WW2 and it was indeed game changing. It might not have been using tiny transistors, but it was capable of running nearly any algorithm and it changed the course of the war.
This is cool, and it is an interesting way of kinda getting the real velocity of the ISS, although one physical note is that in any orbital trajectory u can only have a certain speed per orbit, if u change ur speed u are also changing ur orbit ( the ratio or distance to the center of the body u are orbiting, in this case Earth)
That is correct. If the ISS orbited at the altitude shown in the video, it would have a way greater speed, and it would only be able to do that if there were no atmosphere.
jeez that is freaking wicked i knew it goes fast because i have seen it cross overhead on a couple of occasions and yeah that bad boy is really moving at a good pace, seeing it near ground level is pretty insane. Do voyager 1 like the one top comment requested!
Great, great content. I've thought of doing this in the past with a space probe like Voyager, maybe on the freeway or something. I do visual effects so I could do a clean version and then maybe a version with atmospheric interaction, which would probably be pretty gnarly😂
Hats off to the crew who flew The International Space Station dangerously low at the speed it orbits the Earth. We're rather concerned, though. What would happen if this satellite accidentally crashed into a mountain? If it flew that fast into a mountain, the mountain and other surrounding mountains might get destroyed and cost hundreds of thousands of lives. So, we're glad that the crew managed to stay away from the mountains. What a relief!
@@myspace_forever nice try lmao. Not everything is fake. I saw the ISS zoom past right above me like this a couple of months ago when I was driving to work. It didn't disintegrate.
Years ago, I managed to see through my telescope both the ISS and the Discovery Space Shuttle about to dock. Two clear bright objects and unforgettable. The above video is interesting, though the apparent speed viewed from the ISS at low altitude doesn't match the blink-of-an-eye apparent speed from the ground. I realise that the latter is as seen from a fixed point, but surely you'd see it approaching and receding, albeit briefly, rather than just a momentary flash. One of the relative speeds seems off.
What I love about this animation is my brain intuits orbital mechanics out of this. Like, I'm feeling like it should fall, but then the tremendous speed counteracts it.
Except it does not. The maker of this video is using the actual speed of the ISS but just at a lower altitude. A orbit as low as this, ignoring air resistance, should go way, way faster.
Cool stuff. Our sense of time on earth revolves around the rotation of the earth, so mph really doesn't apply in space because the time reference is relative to objects moving in space. But it's still fast. LOL

If this is based on the normal relative orbit velocity of the ISS, would an orbit at 10,000ft actually be faster in reality than what is shown in this simulation? great vid btw!
Could you do a video of the Apollo capsule going at 24,000 mph at ground level. It always amazed me that humans were inside a craft going at such ludicrous speeds on their way to the moon all those years ago.

The ISS must have really good pilots to miss all those mountains

the mountains missed ISS.
And the towers in nyc
They're known on campus as the PISS.
I have always wondered what the ISS would look like at low altitude and orbit speed. You sir have answered that question! So cool
Superman flys about this speed. Amazing.
Please do a full 90-minute video, orbiting a somewhat populated circle (for example 45 deg northern latitude). I would like to see such a journey uninterrupted
That Earth is flat does not mean it's a disk shape.
@@bukkaratsuppa6414 the earth is round you goober
@@YBehri Why limiting yourself at strictly following parallels? We can start in the northern hemisphere and encircle Earth by diagonal, entering southern hemisphere.
You can't orbit on a parallel, unless it's the equator. Your ground track will always cross the equator and go into the northern and southern hemispheres.
This is why you always want to launch as close to the equator as possible (unless your goal is a polar orbit), which is why the US uses Florida and the Soviets chose Baikonur.
You get nothing

Great video, keep up the good work mate👍
Yes
Gosh, I thought the simulation shows the same angular speed, rather than the same circumferential-tangetial speed. :D
The video i was waiting for someone to make. Thanks! As humans can't perceive speed only acceleration.. this video Clearly demonstrated the stupendous speed at which iss and the other satellites operate. True Marvel of engineering.
Fun to watch. Mach 22.5 looks fast down here, but from the interstellar perspective, it's like molasses in January in northern Siberia.

ISS lifespan seems to be coming to an end, thank you for the decades of dedication, ISS. Really amazed how so many NASA projects exceeded several times of their lifespan and provided so much more than we purposed them. Imagine JWT functioning for a few more decades, we'll discover so much that we've never known

@@TeaTimeee Well, basically they actually present you with SCAMS / HOAXES just as deceptive as the OP video here...yet nary a one of you seems to think, how about we go to their opponents and see if they have anything to say about WHY they do these things...are they masonic actors just lying to everyone such as what is claimed (by the opponents)..basically I will summarize it for you, THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING. Yet you have been programmed to trust AND obey since you were little by staring at the TELL LIE VISION programming boob tube that whenever someone comes and tries to wake you up, you basically scream bloody murder because you enjoy your ignorance...you seem to think it is BLISS...yet just like with the big pharma debate recently, just KNOW there are two sides to the discussion...if you only have knowledge of ONE of those sides you are surely missing the FULL PICTURE...and as mentioned most people are so asleep/clueless that they even enjoy their utter ignorance.

how is this possible. If its low u wont see it bcs of how fast its going and if its high, u wont see it bcs of how small it looks.
its not this fast or this low.
@@risky_von3117 if its low itll burn up due to the air molecules hitting it at hypersonic speeds
@@texasfossilguy it is this fast, but not this low. it sits in low earth orbit and because theres is no air resistance or anything stopping it from moving it just makes a steady orbit around earth every 90 minutes
its basically free falling all the time..
Thanks for doing this man!! Something else that would be cool is looking at the different speeds of things like missiles and bullets. Could also do the speed of different planets and comets!!
Amazing! This is how I imagine Goku flying casually between locations 😊
'Slaps the hood'
NASA: You know how many Sonic Booms this bad baby makes!
I was confused for a minute, then I realized that this is actually really cool, haven't seen it visualized like this.
WITH air resistance, that think would have turned into a red glowing fireball in a few seconds. Still VERY NICE to see for illustration how fast it goes. THANK YOU, great video!
explains a lot and helps you understand how fast it actually goes, thank you.
when the physics problem says "ignoring air resistance"
Imagine how powerful the shock waves coming off the ISS would be!😱
Beautiful! You are sane, as opposed to insane aka using the degenerate colloquial phrase "off of."
@@linyenchin6773 I see nothing wrong with "off of."
@@linyenchin6773 🤓🤓
This crossed my mind too, but I concluded that the shockwave would be extremely short-lived, a tiny fraction of a second. After that, the whole thing would burn up and evaporate in the dense atmosphere. At this speed, even the air is like a concrete block.
@@rnzoli My comment was more hypothetical much like the video itself. I doupt the ISS could reach 100mph without running into serious integrity issues.
Mr. president, there's been a second ISS.
Fun fact: in 1985 we shot down a satellite going at the same speed with an F-15
Isn't math fun?
I've always wondered what 17500 mph looks like! Also, I feel as though it could be even better in VR since you can experience the perspective and angular velocity firsthand. Great content, nonetheless!
I would actually like a full 90 minutes simulation experience at this speed along a great circle of the earth. Would be really fun to see!
We can all thank Robert Downey Jr, in his Ironman suit, for flying closely behind the ISS for these incredible videos
The amazing thing is you actually scaled the timing, distance and speed for this video, good work
For those who didn't take the effort to check the description, this is Microsoft Flight Simulator
Man, i love it when the ISS does a low altitude flyby
No sir, it doesn't , it can not do that, it's impossible, it's a big lie,
@@SharpObserver1A But you've seen it in this video
@@hansvonflammenwerfer2817 this is a simulation, it cant be possible beacause of drag force, thrust, friction and some other physics , the atmosphere does not allow an object, device, space shuttle or space station to travel at such a speed within our atmosphere, he would be torn apart, due to the various friction points of the ISS station this would be physically impossible, the video is a simulation for us to understand what it would be like if it were possible to see the path it takes at a height of 10000 feet. If you have doubts just google about >>space shuttle atmosphere reentry
What kind of blows my mind is that we've invented machines (rockets) that can go this fast, because of course all the ISS parts had to be launched up there into LEO. This forced perspective shows just how crazy insanely fast rockets can really go, and we've only been making them for barely more than half a century.
Well, being out of the atmosphere helps a lot in reaching those speeds, but it’s impressive nevertheless
There's a reason why more than 95% of a space rocket's weight at lift-off is fuel.
What blows my mind more is that cpu's can perform billions of operations per second and each transistor inside them is only a few times larger than an atom. One rocket during ww2 wouldn't mean much, but a modern cpu would change the entire course of the war.
@@puppergump4117 I believe the Turing machine was invented around WW2 and it was indeed game changing. It might not have been using tiny transistors, but it was capable of running nearly any algorithm and it changed the course of the war.
A 90-min video of one complete ISS orbit would be awesome! I don’t envy you having to render that though. Haha
He doesnt need to render its not an animation its a game he just need to record it and then uploa dit
Imagine having a nice picnic on a mountain and then an entire SPACE STATION goes rushing past. 😂

Awesome that you were able to catch this. It is my understanding that normally they orbit just in space. Amazing. Thank you for the great video!
nah bro normally they orbit at 3000 meters
you are aware this is animated though, right? if the ISS got that low as it is in the video, it'd most definitely crash.
@@zorpuz"most definitely"
@@user-zz6fk8bc8u lmao who knows. it could maybe find a perfect route on earth with absolutely zero obstructions in the way. 💀
@@zorpuz it would burst into flames immediately because of air resistance.
This is so brilliant on so many levels; Now I want the 'full version' 90 Minutes from the perspective of the ISS. Weekly another route 😀
Kudos to the cameraman for capturing such a wonderful footage. And to the astronauts for flying it so low 🤟
yooooo, quite interesting. A very scientifical explanation.
This is cool, and it is an interesting way of kinda getting the real velocity of the ISS, although one physical note is that in any orbital trajectory u can only have a certain speed per orbit, if u change ur speed u are also changing ur orbit ( the ratio or distance to the center of the body u are orbiting, in this case Earth)
That is correct. If the ISS orbited at the altitude shown in the video, it would have a way greater speed, and it would only be able to do that if there were no atmosphere.
@@Kaiser58 It would need to accelerate only a little, as the orbital velocity is ~28 500 km/h at an altitude of 3 km
jeez that is freaking wicked i knew it goes fast because i have seen it cross overhead on a couple of occasions and yeah that bad boy is really moving at a good pace, seeing it near ground level is pretty insane.
Do voyager 1 like the one top comment requested!
Love how the cameraman follows the ISS in low altitude
Great, great content. I've thought of doing this in the past with a space probe like Voyager, maybe on the freeway or something. I do visual effects so I could do a clean version and then maybe a version with atmospheric interaction, which would probably be pretty gnarly😂
Duuude! I'd click that.
And Voyager travels much faster
Crazy that it still would take 90 minutes to go around even though whole mountain ranges are flying by within seconds
When the physics text book says ignore air resistance
Simply amazing. I was just thinking about this when I immediately came across it in the recommendations.

Hats off to the crew who flew The International Space Station dangerously low at the speed it orbits the Earth. We're rather concerned, though. What would happen if this satellite accidentally crashed into a mountain? If it flew that fast into a mountain, the mountain and other surrounding mountains might get destroyed and cost hundreds of thousands of lives. So, we're glad that the crew managed to stay away from the mountains. What a relief!
How did they manage to stay so low to the ground without crashing??? Wow incredible footage
Haahhaa
Wtf😂😂
@@myspace_forever nice try lmao. Not everything is fake. I saw the ISS zoom past right above me like this a couple of months ago when I was driving to work. It didn't disintegrate.
@@vaahtobileet Did he say its fake? Ur so embarrassing.
@@mann985A I'm just joking buddy. Obviously no-one's being serious here, yet this guy feels the need to explain it.
Years ago, I managed to see through my telescope both the ISS and the Discovery Space Shuttle about to dock. Two clear bright objects and unforgettable. The above video is interesting, though the apparent speed viewed from the ISS at low altitude doesn't match the blink-of-an-eye apparent speed from the ground. I realise that the latter is as seen from a fixed point, but surely you'd see it approaching and receding, albeit briefly, rather than just a momentary flash. One of the relative speeds seems off.
Except the video would be over at 00:01 due to aerodynamic forces heating, then ripping the ISS apart into a billion pieces 😄
Looks so... unreal :-)
It's continually falling, but it's going fast enough to avoid losing altitude.
Orbiting in a nutshell
0:36. Pretty sure it crashed into a few mountains there. ;-)
I remember camping and being able to see the ISS zoom across the sky. It's incredible how fast it moves.
Fkng outstanding!😮👍 Now just imagine the sound that would make passing by within the atmosphere at that speed!💥😵👍👍🏾👍🏼👍🏿👍🏽
Now, call me crazy, but I have a feeling that air resistance might impede the ISS's speed *slightly*
Okay but this is a demonstration it's still in space yk
so slight that it disassembled
What I love about this animation is my brain intuits orbital mechanics out of this. Like, I'm feeling like it should fall, but then the tremendous speed counteracts it.
Except it does not. The maker of this video is using the actual speed of the ISS but just at a lower altitude. A orbit as low as this, ignoring air resistance, should go way, way faster.
Bros going so fast at 0:14 that he warped to Forge World
Cool stuff. Our sense of time on earth revolves around the rotation of the earth, so mph really doesn't apply in space because the time reference is relative to objects moving in space. But it's still fast. LOL

It would be an insane transport system, if we could find a way to dock with iss at that speeds at 10000 ft altitude
You would first have to find a way not to burn due to friction with the atmosphere.
@@jordillach3222 👍
and the shockwaves
I once saw a herd of flying turtles resting on top of the ISS while it was going through a Starbucks drive-through! True story!

If this is based on the normal relative orbit velocity of the ISS, would an orbit at 10,000ft actually be faster in reality than what is shown in this simulation? great vid btw!
Yes, you are right. It'd have a faster orbit.
The difference would be minimal, if I'm not mistaken 90*6778/6381 ≈ 85 minutes orbit instead of 90
I would like to see a complete 90 minute video of a ISS flyby!

By my calculations, the ISS would cross from the coast to the coast of the USA in 8 minutes and a few seconds.
SPEED
I have been lucky enough to see this fly directly over me while I was in Hawaii, still insanely fast 250 miles up
Could you do a video of the Apollo capsule going at 24,000 mph at ground level. It always amazed me that humans were inside a craft going at such ludicrous speeds on their way to the moon all those years ago.
They didn’t travel that fast the whole time since you get slower the higher your orbit is
A big thanks to the helicopter crew to follow the ISS at such low altitude and high speed 👍
That was actually Tucker Gott following it on his paramotor on full speedbar to get some donuts and coffee for his next video, while distracting Karens from seeing him fly over their house, invading their privacy and reporting him to the FAAagain
