Honestly if I was floating away into space with no way to get back to the station, I’d probably talk to Mission Control to try to get in touch with my family to see if I could talk to them one last time, then I’d ask mission control to help me figure out the easiest and most painless way to die without having to wait until my air ran out. Although, by running out of air you’d eventually pass out from the carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen for an ultimately painless death, but again that’d take many hours. Likely excruciatingly long, and anxiety inducing hours. And I don’t know that I could handle sitting there with my own thoughts for that long knowing what’s going to eventually happen. That’s terrifying and tough to wrap my mind around. I hope none of our incredibly brave astronauts ever have to experience that.
It would actually not be painless because you’d be slowly suffocating It’s not like one minute the air is there, then the next it’s gone. It is gradually reducing and over those 7 hours you start to suffocate and gasp for air that isn’t there
@@MM-we4no Well ya, I suppose that’s true. You’d have trouble breathing which would be quite uncomfortable I imagine. But once you got to a certain point the oxygen would be too low and you’d just pass out. Maybe it’d be better just to pop the seal on your helmet then. Idk. I’m just guessing. It’d be unpleasant any way you look at it though because even doing that wouldn’t be instant or painless. Scary thought.
They'd most likely tell you to chill out and enjoy the view for whatever time you have left. Slowly induced CO2 poisoning is like getting drunk. Then you die but you're too fucked to even know.
@@thelittlestmig3394 Right. That’s what I thought. I’ve seen videos where they take people into hyperbaric chambers and have them take off their oxygen mask and after just a matter of a minute or so of being off oxygen they increasingly get giddy and behave as if they were drunk, and if you don’t put the oxygen mask back on eventually you’d pass out and never wake up. As the previous commenter mentioned though, depending on how quick it onset, you might feel like you were suffocating depending on how quick the hypoxia set in. Which I’m not sure about, I’m no expert or anything. From what I’ve seen with pilots in hyperbaric chambers, they don’t seem even slightly distressed when they take off their mask. But then again, the chamber pressure is usually set at like 30,000ft or something, so there’s still some air, just not enough to keep your brain functioning for very long. I imagine in a space suit it would be similar because there’d still be oxygen to breathe, just not enough. And hypoxia sets in pretty damn quick at 30,000ft. This is all guess work by me as to how it would go in a space suit though. Lol
ye from what I understand your brain will slowly have less oxygen available and work less and less actively. So it will feel like you're getting sleepier and sleepier and eventually just fall asleep, then go to coma and eventually reach brain deadness. But ye the anxiety can still be very real.
This and being stuck in a broken submarine at the bottom of the ocean are two of the scariest situations imaginable. If I were to get lost in space just floating aimlessly and no one could help me, I think I would just take off my helmet to end it alot quicker.
I would suggest against that as it would cause all the fluid in your body to begin boiling, air in your bloodstream to expand, and you'd begin suffering from some of the worsts pains possible for about 2~3 minutes... and that's if you didn't hold your breath. Slow asphyxiation would be better.
My cousin is a retired astronaut. Hey flew 5 times. His 5th flight he went to MIR. He suffered from severe depression for quite some time. He eventually pushed past it but he retired when he got back.
@@scruffmaster0185 For him it wasn't about being lonely. He was a combat veteran, same as me, but it was just different. I'm not in his head so I don't what was going on with him. I think he got to the age and experience that he didn't care about anyhting than being with his family.
@@djbeezy wow i’ve never encountered someone who was close to an astronaut. that’s very exciting and cool. thank you for your service to you and your cousin
As someone with severe anxiety just the Idea of space makes my chest feel tight, massive respect for what these people do. I would panic just being isolated like that, let alone having to go out and do space walks with the idea of possible imminent death lingering on my mind lmao
When Bruce McCandless was testing the MMU, he was untethered and got pretty far from the Shuttle. You could hear the concern in the NASA ground controller's voice when they talked him into coming back. I think they were concerned that he was going "Major Tom" on them. 😃
And then the Rock said: Know your role, and get your monkey ass back to the shuttle, jabroni. Vast nothingness is about to go one on one with the Great One. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.🎶
Untethered eh? So can you explain to me how he eventually caught up with the fake station that's going 17.500mph round the water testicle lol that's some jetpack that mind looooooool???
From an engineering standpoint: Would it be possible to install an emergency valve allowing the astronaut to vent their own air supply into the maneuverability module in a worst case scenario? IIRC the current gen of those space jetpacks have about 70-90sec of thrust before they're spent which is really not a lot of control, even accounting for not needing constant thrust in microgravity.
Thats a pretty piss poor amount of fuel for being in space. Im sure they could easily fit a different or more gas without too much weight. All you need to do is provide propulsion. Of course I dont know how much thrust it gives but still
That would increase the risk of some valve or other part giving out, possibly disabling both your oxygen and thrust at the same time. I don't know if the added complexity and risk would be worth it even if it would be possible.
I'm not sure this would work but I was thinking of some kind of magnet, maybe attached to the extreme points of all of the crafts, stations, etc and each suit has one as well as a switch that controls the field- oversimplified, turning them off and on. And if they started floating away, flip the switch that turns them on, causing them to be drawn towards whichever one is closest. The problem i see though is interference with all kinds of other equipment. But I'm no engineer and have zero idea of space construction so I'm not sure what everything is made of, nor how everything works. It seems likely that not all space equipment is equal, seeing as it has been developed and installed over decades in which technology has made huge advances but that all least some would be interrupted by a sudden magnetic field.
Easier solution. Leave the suits as they are. . Have a belt with 2 cannisters or a seperate item that all astronauts carry when outside of the shuttle. . It'd be the equivalent to wearing a life vest on a boat u wear over your clothes. . Attach a suicide canister for the worst scenario and maybe a a personal belonging capsule. . It'd be a fair amount of effort and thought towards their last moment. 2 canisters for returning to base and 2 canisters for if u can't. 1 for ur last moment. And the last to end it.
90 seconds of continuous thrust is a TON! It’s space, one little psss and you’re heading in the direction you want, forever, until you give a neutralizing burst in the opposite direction of travel
I think the worst part about being in space is just all of the nothingness. Being in space you'd deal with several fears: megalophobia, kenophobia, and acrophobia. The fear of massive objects, the fear of the void, and the fear of heights. Falling into the void is probably the scariest thing for me.
@@mechanomics2649the “quietness” effect they use is unsettling even though it wouldn’t even sound like that in real space. or maybe it would because it’d be absolutely silent and you could hear that ocean sound effect when you cup your ears
@@mechanomics2649some of the scariest shit is going from planet to space station, the few seconds of trying to hurry up and get to the door before anything happens 😂😂 . Space is extremely unnerving in that game 😂
Space travel is an excellent thought experiment on the Dunning-Kruger effect (the less you know, the more you THINK you know). Most people probably have very little fear of space travel, or colonizing Mars, because while we generally know it's dangerous we don't have any relevant personal experience to make it real. We THINK we know the risks. Now, think about diving deep under the ocean or flying in a small plane in bad weather with a lot of turbulence. Most people DO have experience being underwater, and flying in a plane that encounters turbulence, and that fear is visceral.
No. No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. Fuck the ocean. Space is way better. Fear factor? I'm not afraid of space at all. I don't care that it's dangerous. To touch the face of God? That's amazing. But the OCEAN? You seen what kind of fuckery happens down there? Nope. Nu uh. Nah.
That is such a basic and half stepped breakdown of the dunning-kruger effect. Stop and consider the fact that maybe some people just don't let their fear rule them. Given the opportunity I would absolutely fly away from everything on this f****** planet and never look back. Even if I died within the first 5 minutes oh, it would be worth it
I can hear the narrator quite clearly without him shouting the dialogue out at the audience. And regarding the life of an Astronaut you literally submit your heart and soul to the job. Up in the ISS you can’t phone in to take the day off. Total dedication to the job and of course the country or countries you represent.
@@garfield2279 Wasn’t it just, but I’m far to patient for my own good. And fortunately there are real docu’s and good narration, but as for this? “Could do better” is being generous. Take care of yourself and “the hearing aid.”
My head starts spinning and I feel dizzy just thinking about being lost in space and drifting away into nothing. And if you were near the Earth, being able to see it would be both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. So close but yet so far. Kind of reminds me a bit of the stories of people who fall off cruise ships out in the open ocean and end up drowning after treading water for hours. Watching the ship slowly getting further away would be like watching the Earth, only far less spectacular. Trying to remain calm in either situation would be next to impossible.
I liked this video, although I admit the click bait title move got me to watch it.. no one’s actually floating in space dead and not been retrieved- glad to hear that! Please Don’t bait us too much I’m a loyal subscriber .. keep up the good work and thank you for your content!
Space is probably my worst nightmare i can imagine. Just blackness, gigantic views, no up or down...I love sci fi and video games but i personally would never want to spacewalk. I get severe vertigo.
Ugh absolutely. I'd want to somehow pack cyanide in my suit if I were to spacewalk, in case I end up floating off into endless darkness and otherwise slow death.

About the astronauts laughing at thier own near death experience: Its like working as an EMT and seeing horrible things every day. You almost have to have a dark sense of humor to survive mentally.
When i was at a hospital a little while back, i overheard a conversation between 2 ems's. I can't remember exactly what they said but they were making jokes of how often people are found dead in their own car. Hearing that made me realise how true your comment is.
I think it's cool, but I hope they don't stray too far and lose their niche. Maybe just stuff related to environments, biology, or maybe even science-fiction related to animals.
Nice one? They totally scammed us with that friggin Skelton pic into watching this as if someone had floated away then never mentioned it again. I guess Nice jobs appropriate if ur referring to scamming folks into pushing ur button.
Well to be fair, running out of oxygen is the most painless way to go. Hypoxia feels like going drunk, having a good time and then falling asleep feeling a little tingly (assuming you can get rid of the carbon dioxide acidifying our blood and making it extremely uncomfortable). When we consider the other options being death by starvation, dehydration, radiation, or being exposed to the vacuum of space, running out of air definitely the way I'd choose to go.
Have you ever hit your back that hard, that you can't breath. I bet you didn't. Or else you would NOT type this . Not a nice feeling. NOT a nice way to go.
@@inthelight565 Hitting your back and going out of air is entirely different from slowly suffocating. Losing breath due to impact means you also experience pain from impact and actually got a sudden shift in oxygen. You gradually losing oxygen over a long period of time is a lot less noticeable than that. For one it'd take ages and secondly if there's not enough oxygen provided to the brain you'll lose brain functioning over time to the point you might as well be drunk or have a good time. There's even a hormone we make on when we know we're dying that actually makes sure you feel kinda okay. Forgot the name but the youtube channel Roanoke gaming has some great explanations on human biology and the various ways you can die. One of the things he explains well is how the human brain reacts to different situations. He did the Lazarus effect, and that has the explanation on the hormone.
i honestly cry when movies show them float away or get abandoned it scares me so much to even imagine that happening, nobody should experience such a death. i already spend too much time thinking but in deep darkness ?? floating??? alone?? yeah thats a legit nightmare.
What an amazing video. My 11 year old son is obsessed with outer space. This will be a great video for us to watch together. Space videos help us bond; much like I imagine you and Steve bond over making videos. 😅
3:40 Note to those who may wonder. Technically weight is a measure of how much gravity is exerted on you, and thus you on it. What we're talking about here is mass and momentum. This system was probably tested on earth by connecting two 4.40 sand bags and dropping them to simulate a sudden shock as that sorta simulates the same force that the ties would be under if the mass of two bodies were suddenly flung outward into space. Also, technically you aren't weightless in orbit, you weigh the same as you always do, you're just falling forward faster than you are falling down, and everything around you is falling at the same speed so it feels like you're not moving.
@@VergilArcanis To an extent it's not. It's not really possible to be weightless, it's possible to be without momentum, theoretically... But... In comparison to what? With a universe that is expanding and moving around us how could one possibly measure a state of motionlessness. The thing is that on the international space station, you weigh.... probably a little less than you do on earth, but not by very much. If something happened that arrested the momentum of space station, and you, it would just fall directly to the ground at whatever it's terminal velocity is...well.... Actually it would burn up from friction but you get the idea. Motion in space time is weird to comprehend in it's totality. And frustrating. The further away you get from earth the faster you have to go to maintain orbit, but the slower you have to orbit... So out at where our weather satellites are, which have a higher orbit even than the moon, they are traveling so fast that time dilation is measurable, but their orbit is also so slow that they basically sit as a fixed point in what we would consider the sky. So in that, the space station will appear to move across our sky multiple times at much greater speed, even though it is actually moving much, much, much slower than the weather satellite which from our perception sits still. But I'm not going to go into time dilation and momentum and mass and etc because that will authentically break many people's brain.... Even I have to invent fictitious scenarios to entirely wrap my head around it.
@@ParadoxEcho when i say negated, i mean in a 2-D chart pointing out vectors, different direction forces can "cancel" out gravity, menaing the vector value is the same as the force of gravity. it all depends on what point of reference you use. For orbital weightlessness, the gravitational pull is cancelled (or negated) by the force applied by the orbital acceleration (like in rotational kinematics) or in most people's vernacular, Centrifugal force. Outside of a set system like that, the distance between celestial masses make it confusing, like you said, making the direction hard to tell if not downright impossible.
0:04 Actually, the most dangerous moment is during re-entry, the temperatures can get up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit and if the rocket is off by even a few degrees you have a good chance of burning up.
Never used the term most dangerous so ion know where the “actually” is coming from like bro was wrong. And re-entry is apart of landing which is exactly what he said genius 😭
And everyone else's, eventually. Though actually, there have been breakthroughs in radical life extension (like reversing the age of skin in an "elderly" mouse to a young one, like the equivalent of regenerating an 80 year-old human's skin to that of a 25-year old), you still eventually would die, and/or philosophically, become something totally different over the eons than you were when young, if we ever got to the point people could somehow keep regenerating their health.
My favorite "astronauts have nerves of steel" anecdote involves John Young in 1981. During launch of STS-1 his blood pressure and heart rate never got above normal. Once in orbit, rookie Bob Crippen said "wow! Look at that view!". John looked out the window and casually said "it hasn't changed".
I think the "jet packs" are actually called an mmu or "man maneuvering unit" and the water that filled the one guys suit probably came from the suits cooling system which cycles water through small tubes embedded in the astronaut's underlayer.
I think jet pack may be a misnomer here, as technically jets only work in the presence of atmospheric oxygen, anything beyond the atmosphere, must be a rocket ergo, a rocket pack!
Has to be so cool and so scary to be out there, getting out there, and coming back. The anxiety at times would be sky high. Im already dont like to be higher than anything I can jump. Cant jump that high either. Mad respect and admiration to all astronauts. Was fun to watch. Great video
Honestly, it’d be pretty wild in old age if they’d allow those who desire it to load up with a suit, jet pack, lots of oxygen, and just let them fly into void of space. It’d probably be a long death but likely an interesting one
@@MultiVeeta What’s your point? OP is only talking about sending those dealing with the impending fatality of old age into space to enjoy the deep void of space before their oxygen supplies run out. There is no “one year.” There’s, as has been stated, like 7 hours tops. Furthermore, not once did OP claim the surroundings would change during the time period. They only stated the duration before death would be interesting. You’re making assumptions.
@@TacitSwine750 the OP literally said it would be a long death. What you think they are just going to have rockets on standby for when people suddenly reach a critical stage of their life. What they gonna do launch them from the hospital. No wonder this World is going to sht, too many adults think out loud on social media like 5 year olds.
Ok, you have opened my mind to some new information and I like it. Since I'm thrilled by the work we do in space, I'm hoping it is for the good of human kind. Travelling in space nice but I'll wait for the newer version.
I have been preparing for space exploration myself. I have been practicing navigating my home in a wheel chair, with items in my hands and arms. It takes just as much patience and training as the Astronauts get! Try it for yourself.
I'm terrified of heights but I find being airborn in a plane or something like that keeps me perfectly calm. I am an inch away from a depression breakdown and I suck at math so I'd never make it like these folks.
I've noticed that Steve's brain has been evolving all this time 😃😃😃. This one is very smart compared to the one in the earlier videos. 🤔🤔🤔🤔Who knows he could become the next DaVinci or Einstein. Way to go Watop 😍😍😍

YES! Space content. Love the animal stuff too. However......floating away, also known as 0gravity is my only fear in life not that of harm etc done to my loved one's. That Gravity movie is like my The Exorcist to most. Funny and confusing thing is.....I love the water!😅
I think that's because with a lack of gravity you're getting sucked up into an endless vacuum, with water you don't have to worry about that cause you still have a connection to earth.
It's not Zero Gravity. Gravity is still a thing what you're no longer feeling is the G-Forces. The ISS is still experiencing the same Gravity we are, Orbit is a constant free fall where it never sees terminal trajectory because the speed at which the ISS is circling the planet the planet Curves away from such a trajectory every revolution. You feel weightless because you no longer feel the circular force of the earth physically moving you through space. Like when you have a hanging plate with a cup of water on it and you start circling the plate around and the water doesn't move. Same thing.
I had a dream about 3 weeks ago that an astronaut was left out in space holding onto something. It was one of those dreams that seemed so real and that I know the man and they left him to die. They could have reached him even but they thought he did not survive whatever accident it was that caused him to drift away. They just didn't look for him. I was crying as if I was truly grieving. I finally settled down and prayed over it in case someone really might need help. It was awful. I pray this wasn't one of my dreams that actually happens later.
We were talking about space travel the other day and someone brought up a question I was not able to answer: How are the astronauts able to survive passing through the Van Allen Belt of radiation when the spacecraft and suits were not made with radiation protection? I wasn't sure how to respond.
From what I know, the Van Allen belt is the earth's magnetic field capturing and repelling solar radiation away from earth, protecting us, and the space station and other equipment needing repair sit within the confines of it, so the astronauts who go up to maintain the equipment don't actually pass through it, but if they were to break free and drift away, they certainly would and it's unlikely that unlucky astronaut would live as long as seven hours. The Apollo missions broke through the belt and I think the astronauts were exposed to some radiation, but not enough to kill them, as their craft were built with some protection. Hope this helps, as I'm no expert
I think it's kinda simple; they do not exit/"pass through" the belt. The ISS orbits well inside of it, or under it, point is, it's most definitely shielded by it. When they do, like on the Moon, they die of cancer many years later, or quicker, depends how much time they spent and in how intense radiation. Take this with a grain of salt tho, it's just my basic knowledge possibly mixed with hearsay, put out in a crude form. Consider doing your research, try to find credible sources. That's probably what I'm about to do too.
@@hunormagyar1843 Well to begin with they never foot or put a foot on the moon they couldn’t get to the van Allen radiation bell the other thing is they simply didn’t have the technology to land and get back the whole thing was fake. As you pointed out the ISS is in a low orbit you can actually see it with binoculars. Best regards from the state of Kentucky.
I met one of the SkyLab astronauts once in the visitor center in FL. Now I know why the doorways are so wide, these guys have the biggest balls on the planet. And they shrug it off saying it was just doing my job. One thing we all have in common, is that every day we put our lives in the hands of the engineers who built our marvelous technology. We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants.
I once had a dream that I was an astronaut, repairing a satellite. When I looked over my shoulder I would see the earth. This might sound weird but I could feel myself floating … it was such a beautiful dream… so so beautiful.

The martian is a great movie, really goes to show how truly terrifying it can be to be a astronaut. If Mark Watney was real, well it would be a miralce.
This honestly sounds like the most beautiful way to die. Nobody wants to die early I get that. But your last moments surrounded by the heavens, slowly drifting off to sleep? Sounds pretty good to me.
“Had he not been able to find his way back by touch no one knows how this story would have ended” I’m pretty sure everyone can guess how that story would have ended
@1:25 you dont need a lot of fuel, once set in motion there is no air to stop the astronaut. They can essentially travel for hours (ignoring Earth's gravity). So aim and fire is the key here
The problem is the word, "aim". Spacecraft for example need some sort of attitude reference, a guidance computer and a steering mechanism to keep the engine pointed in the correct direction during an engine burn so as to make the spacecraft go where they want it to go. If you just start firing your jet pack without properly aiming it first you will wind up propelling yourself all over the place until you eventually run out of propellant.
It would be like working at the very bottom of the mariana trench, anywhere where you are a long long way from home, in an alien and hostile environment that the very medium that your station sits in could kill you in an instant.

I had this concern for several years. How can I be sure gravity won't just quit on me and I'll float off into the endless void -- or bottomless pit? While swinging on playground swings I feel continuously thrilled and terrified for this reason, and enjoy it. I thought a lot about why things might coalesce in the first place, and after finding help came up with an answer. Won't bore with details unless someone wants to know.
@@SteelsCrow Rest easy. Gravity ain't going anywhere. Unlike lyin' unreliable humans, the Laws of Physics can be trusted!* 😀👍 *Does not apply to Black Holes. We don't know WTF is going on inside those...
@Context I used to have dreams in which I was falling onto the sky/space as if was a pit because the gravity failed all of a sudden. You are not alone.
@@SteelsCrow I would like to know. I have this strange feeling while on a roller coaster my whole body is towards the sky. I am strangely more afraid of flying away than hitting the ground 😅
@@MegaAnirudhsharma More afraid of flying away than hitting the ground? Now that is curious. The feeling of weightlessness is a legitimate reason for terror as it accompanies falling and precedes hitting the ground, in our planet-hugging experience. Anyway, you must be asking about my answer. I am a nerd about growth mechanics. All things appear to be motivated by growth, because anything that isn't is dying until it perishes utterly. 'Growth' includes expanding oneself, making copies of oneself, and cooperation between individuals to become part of something greater than oneself. I compared a universe with no gravity -- totally even dispersion -- to a universe with gravity -- concentration in dense bodies -- in terms of how well each promotes growth. The difference is almost binary. Dispersed matter rarely interacts, while concentrated matter literally can't get away from other matter. Proximity transforms matter into more powerful things. To me that was a compelling argument as to why gravity is a thing, will always remain a thing, and not quit on me.
Maybe i'm mistaking but i think than in the case of a crime in an international spaceship, the justice can also consider the nation that built the module where the crime is commited. For example if a murder is commited in a russian module of the ISS, russian laws can be applied.
In a situation where i would freely float in space without being tehtered to anything, i would remove my helmet instead of dying slowly inside the suit. It takes approx. only 15 second until you would black out and 2 minutes to asphyxiate if you were to remove the helmet.
Do what? Its extremely cold for one. It is negative 250 degrees if i recall correctly. Also its a vacuum with negative pressure, so all air cavities would explode. Opossite of scuba diving. Blood would boil due to air in its cells expanding. It would be instint death. Those suits are pressurized with air. So helmet would blow off you if unlocked not sucked.
Floating out into space is my greatest fear. As a kid when my dad drove us from the park and back I would lay in the back of his truck and stare up at the night sky. This made me scared of space later in life. Till this day I cannot stare at the sky for too long without needing to grab something so it anchors me down
Being alone isn't hard, I've spent most of my life with myself and my own thoughts with no one around, givin I went to school, where I also spent a lot of time avoiding people and then alone at home and then as an adult, alone most of the time unless at work. People skills arn't that great but you get used to it.
Considering the general quality of people in the world at present you are probably better off. My father used to say, "There are some people in this world that the only way to get ahead of them is to stay away from them".
I'm right there with you Jon... This line from a poem says it all. " I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments." I do and so do you... Much love and take care.
I think it's because space is actually hot via our solar system. As well as in order to exit the planet you have to build something that can move faster than 60,000 mph. I think the better question is if anything ever came back.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 space is extremelt cold but the sun is exremly hot. in space if youre facing the sun then your front would be 120c and your back 3 k which is pretty close to absolute zero
Fuel is definitely the answer. The longer you are drifting, the farther you would get away from the station. So anybody trying to rescue you would have to expend no less fuel than enough to double that distance to try to get to you. With luck, they could activate your suit to get you back if you were unconscious and for some reason the wireless activation wasn't working. If they can't get your suit working though, their suit has to do all the work, and the amount of fuel needed increases again, because they'd have to get to you and drag double the amount of weight back, all while being untethered themselves.
9:11 It has nothing to do with zodiac signs and other astronomical nonsense XD So good, Carens would be pissed, if only they watched science related videos
Couldn't you use the much more capable thrusters and OMS of the ship that put them there to go and intercept the stranded tumbling crew member? That's what I do in KSP if I run out of jetpack fuel.
That was the plan for the shuttle missions that weren’t docked to a station. Once flights to mir and the iss became common the SAFER was developed so EVA crews could self rescue
ngl, if I only had 6 months to live, I would wanna die in space and float off if at all possible... idk why, it just seems... idk maybe romantic? leaving the world and all its pains behind?
I'm pretty sure some people have died in space, and not just during launch or landing. It's just been covered up, specifically by Russia. Countries were desperate during the space race back in the 60s.

No one touched on that. But they did talk about how an untethered astronaut will somehow miraculously float away, but the rocket itself, would never do that! MAGIC!
@@wordswritteninred7171 The spacecraft has tons of mass while the astronaut might have a few hundred pounds of mass including the spacesuit. If the astronaut pushes away from the vehicle what happens is that both objects will move away from each other but because the vehicle has so much more mass than the astronaut the astronaut will be more affected by the push. Its like being in the water and pushing on the side of an aircraft carrier. Theoretically the carrier moves away a little bit when you push it but the majority of the velocity change will effect you because you have much less mass than the ship.

Honestly if I was floating away into space with no way to get back to the station, I’d probably talk to Mission Control to try to get in touch with my family to see if I could talk to them one last time, then I’d ask mission control to help me figure out the easiest and most painless way to die without having to wait until my air ran out. Although, by running out of air you’d eventually pass out from the carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen for an ultimately painless death, but again that’d take many hours. Likely excruciatingly long, and anxiety inducing hours. And I don’t know that I could handle sitting there with my own thoughts for that long knowing what’s going to eventually happen.
That’s terrifying and tough to wrap my mind around. I hope none of our incredibly brave astronauts ever have to experience that.
It would actually not be painless because you’d be slowly suffocating
It’s not like one minute the air is there, then the next it’s gone. It is gradually reducing and over those 7 hours you start to suffocate and gasp for air that isn’t there
@@MM-we4no Well ya, I suppose that’s true. You’d have trouble breathing which would be quite uncomfortable I imagine. But once you got to a certain point the oxygen would be too low and you’d just pass out. Maybe it’d be better just to pop the seal on your helmet then. Idk. I’m just guessing. It’d be unpleasant any way you look at it though because even doing that wouldn’t be instant or painless. Scary thought.
They'd most likely tell you to chill out and enjoy the view for whatever time you have left. Slowly induced CO2 poisoning is like getting drunk. Then you die but you're too fucked to even know.
@@thelittlestmig3394 Right. That’s what I thought. I’ve seen videos where they take people into hyperbaric chambers and have them take off their oxygen mask and after just a matter of a minute or so of being off oxygen they increasingly get giddy and behave as if they were drunk, and if you don’t put the oxygen mask back on eventually you’d pass out and never wake up.
As the previous commenter mentioned though, depending on how quick it onset, you might feel like you were suffocating depending on how quick the hypoxia set in. Which I’m not sure about, I’m no expert or anything. From what I’ve seen with pilots in hyperbaric chambers, they don’t seem even slightly distressed when they take off their mask. But then again, the chamber pressure is usually set at like 30,000ft or something, so there’s still some air, just not enough to keep your brain functioning for very long. I imagine in a space suit it would be similar because there’d still be oxygen to breathe, just not enough. And hypoxia sets in pretty damn quick at 30,000ft. This is all guess work by me as to how it would go in a space suit though. Lol
ye from what I understand your brain will slowly have less oxygen available and work less and less actively. So it will feel like you're getting sleepier and sleepier and eventually just fall asleep, then go to coma and eventually reach brain deadness.
But ye the anxiety can still be very real.
This and being stuck in a broken submarine at the bottom of the ocean are two of the scariest situations imaginable.
If I were to get lost in space just floating aimlessly and no one could help me, I think I would just take off my helmet to end it alot quicker.
I would suggest against that as it would cause all the fluid in your body to begin boiling, air in your bloodstream to expand, and you'd begin suffering from some of the worsts pains possible for about 2~3 minutes... and that's if you didn't hold your breath. Slow asphyxiation would be better.
@@VexedFox ok then...on second thought I guess I would just float aimlessly until I asphyxiated.

When Bruce McCandless was testing the MMU, he was untethered and got pretty far from the Shuttle. You could hear the concern in the NASA ground controller's voice when they talked him into coming back. I think they were concerned that he was going "Major Tom" on them. 😃
How dramatic. Good movie footage
Bruce McCandles. Related to Chris McCandles? The dead one?
Finally. Someone brought up space oddity. I already posted about how disappointing it was that no one had mentioned Tom.
And then the Rock said: Know your role, and get your monkey ass back to the shuttle, jabroni. Vast nothingness is about to go one on one with the Great One. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.🎶
Untethered eh? So can you explain to me how he eventually caught up with the fake station that's going 17.500mph round the water testicle lol that's some jetpack that mind looooooool???
From an engineering standpoint: Would it be possible to install an emergency valve allowing the astronaut to vent their own air supply into the maneuverability module in a worst case scenario? IIRC the current gen of those space jetpacks have about 70-90sec of thrust before they're spent which is really not a lot of control, even accounting for not needing constant thrust in microgravity.
Thats a pretty piss poor amount of fuel for being in space. Im sure they could easily fit a different or more gas without too much weight. All you need to do is provide propulsion. Of course I dont know how much thrust it gives but still
That would increase the risk of some valve or other part giving out, possibly disabling both your oxygen and thrust at the same time. I don't know if the added complexity and risk would be worth it even if it would be possible.
I'm not sure this would work but I was thinking of some kind of magnet, maybe attached to the extreme points of all of the crafts, stations, etc and each suit has one as well as a switch that controls the field- oversimplified, turning them off and on. And if they started floating away, flip the switch that turns them on, causing them to be drawn towards whichever one is closest. The problem i see though is interference with all kinds of other equipment. But I'm no engineer and have zero idea of space construction so I'm not sure what everything is made of, nor how everything works. It seems likely that not all space equipment is equal, seeing as it has been developed and installed over decades in which technology has made huge advances but that all least some would be interrupted by a sudden magnetic field.
Easier solution.
Leave the suits as they are.
.
Have a belt with 2 cannisters or a seperate item that all astronauts carry when outside of the shuttle.
.
It'd be the equivalent to wearing a life vest on a boat u wear over your clothes.
.
Attach a suicide canister for the worst scenario and maybe a a personal belonging capsule.
.
It'd be a fair amount of effort and thought towards their last moment.
2 canisters for returning to base and 2 canisters for if u can't.
1 for ur last moment.
And the last to end it.
90 seconds of continuous thrust is a TON! It’s space, one little psss and you’re heading in the direction you want, forever, until you give a neutralizing burst in the opposite direction of travel
I think the worst part about being in space is just all of the nothingness. Being in space you'd deal with several fears: megalophobia, kenophobia, and acrophobia. The fear of massive objects, the fear of the void, and the fear of heights. Falling into the void is probably the scariest thing for me.
I found it surprising just how anxiety inducing even No Man's Sky is when in space.

Space travel is an excellent thought experiment on the Dunning-Kruger effect (the less you know, the more you THINK you know). Most people probably have very little fear of space travel, or colonizing Mars, because while we generally know it's dangerous we don't have any relevant personal experience to make it real. We THINK we know the risks. Now, think about diving deep under the ocean or flying in a small plane in bad weather with a lot of turbulence. Most people DO have experience being underwater, and flying in a plane that encounters turbulence, and that fear is visceral.
that doesnt sound scary. losing your save files sounds scary.
No. No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Fuck the ocean. Space is way better. Fear factor? I'm not afraid of space at all. I don't care that it's dangerous. To touch the face of God? That's amazing.
But the OCEAN? You seen what kind of fuckery happens down there? Nope. Nu uh. Nah.
That is such a basic and half stepped breakdown of the dunning-kruger effect. Stop and consider the fact that maybe some people just don't let their fear rule them. Given the opportunity I would absolutely fly away from everything on this f****** planet and never look back. Even if I died within the first 5 minutes oh, it would be worth it

My head starts spinning and I feel dizzy just thinking about being lost in space and drifting away into nothing. And if you were near the Earth, being able to see it would be both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. So close but yet so far. Kind of reminds me a bit of the stories of people who fall off cruise ships out in the open ocean and end up drowning after treading water for hours. Watching the ship slowly getting further away would be like watching the Earth, only far less spectacular. Trying to remain calm in either situation would be next to impossible.
you would prob remain in orbit like space debris until falling down eventually, you would have to be much further away to be drifting into space

Well to be fair, running out of oxygen is the most painless way to go. Hypoxia feels like going drunk, having a good time and then falling asleep feeling a little tingly (assuming you can get rid of the carbon dioxide acidifying our blood and making it extremely uncomfortable). When we consider the other options being death by starvation, dehydration, radiation, or being exposed to the vacuum of space, running out of air definitely the way I'd choose to go.
Have you ever hit your back that hard, that you can't breath. I bet you didn't. Or else you would NOT type this . Not a nice feeling. NOT a nice way to go.
@@inthelight565 Hitting your back and going out of air is entirely different from slowly suffocating. Losing breath due to impact means you also experience pain from impact and actually got a sudden shift in oxygen. You gradually losing oxygen over a long period of time is a lot less noticeable than that. For one it'd take ages and secondly if there's not enough oxygen provided to the brain you'll lose brain functioning over time to the point you might as well be drunk or have a good time. There's even a hormone we make on when we know we're dying that actually makes sure you feel kinda okay. Forgot the name but the youtube channel Roanoke gaming has some great explanations on human biology and the various ways you can die. One of the things he explains well is how the human brain reacts to different situations. He did the Lazarus effect, and that has the explanation on the hormone.
@@inthelight565you should try it and report your findings to us

3:40 Note to those who may wonder. Technically weight is a measure of how much gravity is exerted on you, and thus you on it. What we're talking about here is mass and momentum. This system was probably tested on earth by connecting two 4.40 sand bags and dropping them to simulate a sudden shock as that sorta simulates the same force that the ties would be under if the mass of two bodies were suddenly flung outward into space.
Also, technically you aren't weightless in orbit, you weigh the same as you always do, you're just falling forward faster than you are falling down, and everything around you is falling at the same speed so it feels like you're not moving.
It's always weird to think about it like that, as the weightless feeling is the force of gravity being negated by other forces
@@VergilArcanis To an extent it's not. It's not really possible to be weightless, it's possible to be without momentum, theoretically... But... In comparison to what? With a universe that is expanding and moving around us how could one possibly measure a state of motionlessness. The thing is that on the international space station, you weigh.... probably a little less than you do on earth, but not by very much. If something happened that arrested the momentum of space station, and you, it would just fall directly to the ground at whatever it's terminal velocity is...well.... Actually it would burn up from friction but you get the idea.
Motion in space time is weird to comprehend in it's totality. And frustrating. The further away you get from earth the faster you have to go to maintain orbit, but the slower you have to orbit... So out at where our weather satellites are, which have a higher orbit even than the moon, they are traveling so fast that time dilation is measurable, but their orbit is also so slow that they basically sit as a fixed point in what we would consider the sky. So in that, the space station will appear to move across our sky multiple times at much greater speed, even though it is actually moving much, much, much slower than the weather satellite which from our perception sits still.
But I'm not going to go into time dilation and momentum and mass and etc because that will authentically break many people's brain.... Even I have to invent fictitious scenarios to entirely wrap my head around it.
@@ParadoxEcho when i say negated, i mean in a 2-D chart pointing out vectors, different direction forces can "cancel" out gravity, menaing the vector value is the same as the force of gravity. it all depends on what point of reference you use. For orbital weightlessness, the gravitational pull is cancelled (or negated) by the force applied by the orbital acceleration (like in rotational kinematics) or in most people's vernacular, Centrifugal force.
Outside of a set system like that, the distance between celestial masses make it confusing, like you said, making the direction hard to tell if not downright impossible.
Local realism has been disproven so everyone’s comment is not only arbitrary it’s also an obsolete viewpoint.

Honestly, it’d be pretty wild in old age if they’d allow those who desire it to load up with a suit, jet pack, lots of oxygen, and just let them fly into void of space. It’d probably be a long death but likely an interesting one
But you would need an alternative to suffocation. After some hours a trigger should be set in motion that puts you in a coma and kills you painlessly.

Funny and confusing thing is.....I love the water!😅
I think that's because with a lack of gravity you're getting sucked up into an endless vacuum, with water you don't have to worry about that cause you still have a connection to earth.
That is terrifying.. but whats even more terrifying is getting lost or stuck in underground water...
Gravity (although slightly diminished )still exists when you're in the water on Earth.. Directionality and control as well.
It's not Zero Gravity. Gravity is still a thing what you're no longer feeling is the G-Forces. The ISS is still experiencing the same Gravity we are, Orbit is a constant free fall where it never sees terminal trajectory because the speed at which the ISS is circling the planet the planet Curves away from such a trajectory every revolution. You feel weightless because you no longer feel the circular force of the earth physically moving you through space. Like when you have a hanging plate with a cup of water on it and you start circling the plate around and the water doesn't move. Same thing.

They could have reached him even but they thought he did not survive whatever accident it was that caused him to drift away. They just didn't look for him. I was crying as if I was truly grieving.

Aww sorry your dream made you feel that way..was just a dream☺️
We were talking about space travel the other day and someone brought up a question I was not able to answer:
How are the astronauts able to survive passing through the Van Allen Belt of radiation when the spacecraft and suits were not made with radiation protection?
I wasn't sure how to respond.
From what I know, the Van Allen belt is the earth's magnetic field capturing and repelling solar radiation away from earth, protecting us, and the space station and other equipment needing repair sit within the confines of it, so the astronauts who go up to maintain the equipment don't actually pass through it, but if they were to break free and drift away, they certainly would and it's unlikely that unlucky astronaut would live as long as seven hours. The Apollo missions broke through the belt and I think the astronauts were exposed to some radiation, but not enough to kill them, as their craft were built with some protection. Hope this helps, as I'm no expert
The answer is because they lied they never went through the Vandale in radiation belt they never landed on the moon it was a big hoax.
I think it's kinda simple; they do not exit/"pass through" the belt. The ISS orbits well inside of it, or under it, point is, it's most definitely shielded by it. When they do, like on the Moon, they die of cancer many years later, or quicker, depends how much time they spent and in how intense radiation.
Take this with a grain of salt tho, it's just my basic knowledge possibly mixed with hearsay, put out in a crude form. Consider doing your research, try to find credible sources. That's probably what I'm about to do too.
@@hunormagyar1843 Well to begin with they never foot or put a foot on the moon they couldn’t get to the van Allen radiation bell the other thing is they simply didn’t have the technology to land and get back the whole thing was fake.

I met one of the SkyLab astronauts once in the visitor center in FL. Now I know why the doorways are so wide, these guys have the biggest balls on the planet. And they shrug it off saying it was just doing my job. One thing we all have in common, is that every day we put our lives in the hands of the engineers who built our marvelous technology. We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants.
I once had a dream that I was an astronaut, repairing a satellite. When I looked over my shoulder I would see the earth. This might sound weird but I could feel myself floating … it was such a beautiful dream… so so beautiful.
No talk about animals and still very entertaining as well we get to learn something great videos great content...
Thanks WeRTop
His channel isn't specifically about Animals. Go watch animal planet if you want, and stop complaining
@@PapaDr3ad94 he’s not complaining like he said great content
@@PapaDr3ad94 If you pay attention to his videos he has said nothing about videos and he apologized. Stop being a troll. I wish people like you would come face-to-face with people like me and you would be introduced to a left and a right hook to the head punk.
@@Gavitron9001 Thank you for having intelligence to figure it out unlike that other dip shit.

- Okay, tell us what you were thinking about while being under the water in a space suit
- "I feel like an astronaut in the ocean..."
The martian is a great movie, really goes to show how truly terrifying it can be to be a astronaut. If Mark Watney was real, well it would be a miralce.
This honestly sounds like the most beautiful way to die. Nobody wants to die early I get that. But your last moments surrounded by the heavens, slowly drifting off to sleep? Sounds pretty good to me.
“His own space suit tried to kill’em”. 😂😂 this guy is funny
The emoji astronaut trying to get back in to the craft .
“Come on…come on…wtf!?
😂😂
“Had he not been able to find his way back by touch no one knows how this story would have ended”
I’m pretty sure everyone can guess how that story would have ended
Gravity was such a GREAT movie! 💜💜💜
@1:25 you dont need a lot of fuel, once set in motion there is no air to stop the astronaut. They can essentially travel for hours (ignoring Earth's gravity). So aim and fire is the key here
Me: misses completely
The problem is the word, "aim". Spacecraft for example need some sort of attitude reference, a guidance computer and a steering mechanism to keep the engine pointed in the correct direction during an engine burn so as to make the spacecraft go where they want it to go. If you just start firing your jet pack without properly aiming it first you will wind up propelling yourself all over the place until you eventually run out of propellant.
It would be like working at the very bottom of the mariana trench, anywhere where you are a long long way from home, in an alien and hostile environment that the very medium that your station sits in could kill you in an instant.
4:03 "Thousands of others are working down below, ready to provide necessary assistance at any time, in any situation."
(Astronaut) "Houston, We have a problem. I'm constipated again."
(Mission Control) "Try rocking back and forth."
what did the maths worker do
(worked it out with a pencil)
pre computer days
imagine as an astronaut drifted away from spaceship for long hour, suddenly encounter with an alien being....wow
They slowly push him back to the ISS because they wanna see what happens
Alien says I'm your uber back,hop in.
And then you can't make yourself understood? Of course it WILL happen someday.
Hey WATOP ! :) I love your videos ♥ Keep it up !
BUT I have a very small request.. and it might be helpful to very many people ^^
Could you maybe also use the metric system in your Videos ?
much thanks. ♥
I second that
He really should.
I always wonder why people would still use the imperial system since metric is the only real and logical system
I hate y’all. Just because you Had better education doesn’t mean everyone else in America has
@@figl100 The Imperial System made it to the moon. Just saying.
i absolutely love seeing advanced sciences explained by a youtuber who is essentially writing a grade 9 video essay
I'm scared by looking in space.
My childhood nightmare is just by looking at the blue sky: giving me a feeling like I'm falling. Idk why is that.
I had this concern for several years. How can I be sure gravity won't just quit on me and I'll float off into the endless void -- or bottomless pit? While swinging on playground swings I feel continuously thrilled and terrified for this reason, and enjoy it.
I thought a lot about why things might coalesce in the first place, and after finding help came up with an answer. Won't bore with details unless someone wants to know.
@@SteelsCrow Rest easy. Gravity ain't going anywhere. Unlike lyin' unreliable humans, the Laws of Physics can be trusted!* 😀👍
*Does not apply to Black Holes. We don't know WTF is going on inside those...
@Context I used to have dreams in which I was falling onto the sky/space as if was a pit because the gravity failed all of a sudden. You are not alone.
@@SteelsCrow I would like to know. I have this strange feeling while on a roller coaster my whole body is towards the sky. I am strangely more afraid of flying away than hitting the ground 😅
@@MegaAnirudhsharma More afraid of flying away than hitting the ground? Now that is curious. The feeling of weightlessness is a legitimate reason for terror as it accompanies falling and precedes hitting the ground, in our planet-hugging experience.
Anyway, you must be asking about my answer. I am a nerd about growth mechanics. All things appear to be motivated by growth, because anything that isn't is dying until it perishes utterly. 'Growth' includes expanding oneself, making copies of oneself, and cooperation between individuals to become part of something greater than oneself.
I compared a universe with no gravity -- totally even dispersion -- to a universe with gravity -- concentration in dense bodies -- in terms of how well each promotes growth. The difference is almost binary. Dispersed matter rarely interacts, while concentrated matter literally can't get away from other matter. Proximity transforms matter into more powerful things.
To me that was a compelling argument as to why gravity is a thing, will always remain a thing, and not quit on me.
Fun Fact:Along with testing the MMU,Challenger was also the first shuttle to land at KSC on the same mission
This topic literally makes me want to peel my skin off, even though I’ll literally NEVER be at risk of this happening lmao
Imagine not being able to itch your face in those helmets
😒 ...or...that you fart so much..ya'pass out due to low oxygen..and wake up floating away...
....🌜🚀➿️➿️➿️📞🧑🚀 🪐....
Wouldn't it be smart to have an oxygen supply to tie into on the outside of the station in case there is an issue with the airlock?
Simple answer is this: we are not technologically capable of saving someone who has had the ultimate misfortune of floating away into space
when you mentioned murder i immediately thought of among us, i swear my brain has no return
Sounds SUSSY.
Maybe i'm mistaking but i think than in the case of a crime in an international spaceship, the justice can also consider the nation that built the module where the crime is commited. For example if a murder is commited in a russian module of the ISS, russian laws can be applied.
I love this guys sense of humor , it’s the best on TH-cam
6:53 *Dropped into the jungle of the Philippines*
Filipinos: 👁️👄👁️
In a situation where i would freely float in space without being tehtered to anything, i would remove my helmet instead of dying slowly inside the suit. It takes approx. only 15 second until you would black out and 2 minutes to asphyxiate if you were to remove the helmet.
I feel like that would really hurt
@@cecil2742 It’ll be over with before you know it.
Do what? Its extremely cold for one. It is negative 250 degrees if i recall correctly. Also its a vacuum with negative pressure, so all air cavities would explode. Opossite of scuba diving. Blood would boil due to air in its cells expanding. It would be instint death. Those suits are pressurized with air. So helmet would blow off you if unlocked not sucked.
Why anyone would want to be an astronaut is beyond me.
Floating out into space is my greatest fear. As a kid when my dad drove us from the park and back I would lay in the back of his truck and stare up at the night sky. This made me scared of space later in life. Till this day I cannot stare at the sky for too long without needing to grab something so it anchors me down
I thought we were arguing with cats for killing out the wolves today ;-;
Damn he went straight south with the killer astronaut 👨🚀 thing 😂😂😂
Being alone isn't hard, I've spent most of my life with myself and my own thoughts with no one around, givin I went to school, where I also spent a lot of time avoiding people and then alone at home and then as an adult, alone most of the time unless at work. People skills arn't that great but you get used to it.
Considering the general quality of people in the world at present you are probably better off. My father used to say, "There are some people in this world that the only way to get ahead of them is to stay away from them".
I'm right there with you Jon... This line from a poem says it all. " I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments." I do and so do you... Much love and take care.
Same here
I think it's because space is actually hot via our solar system. As well as in order to exit the planet you have to build something that can move faster than 60,000 mph. I think the better question is if anything ever came back.
Space isn't hot! Space is extremely COLD. Why would you think it's hot???
@@josephdockemeyer6782 space is extremelt cold but the sun is exremly hot. in space if youre facing the sun then your front would be 120c and your back 3 k which is pretty close to absolute zero
Of course stuff has come back, the space shuttles returned plenty of times, hell even the lunar missions returned without a problem.
Lol @ space is hot?
Actually space isn't actually hot. It is very cold. Also the temperature isn't the issue in space but the radiation coming from the sun.
Fuel is definitely the answer. The longer you are drifting, the farther you would get away from the station. So anybody trying to rescue you would have to expend no less fuel than enough to double that distance to try to get to you. With luck, they could activate your suit to get you back if you were unconscious and for some reason the wireless activation wasn't working. If they can't get your suit working though, their suit has to do all the work, and the amount of fuel needed increases again, because they'd have to get to you and drag double the amount of weight back, all while being untethered themselves.
10:56 this is called amongus imposter
Beautiful 🥰❤️💞
Yup
Limited fuel in the backpack is not an issue, they operate in little puffs. They only need enough velocity to return.
9:11
It has nothing to do with zodiac signs and other astronomical nonsense
XD
So good, Carens would be pissed, if only they watched science related videos
Couldn't you use the much more capable thrusters and OMS of the ship that put them there to go and intercept the stranded tumbling crew member? That's what I do in KSP if I run out of jetpack fuel.
I think that would disturb the orbit.
That was the plan for the shuttle missions that weren’t docked to a station. Once flights to mir and the iss became common the SAFER was developed so EVA crews could self rescue
Space seems so peaceful and beautiful to me. I can’t wait to get there ❤
3:14 anyone who playd kerbal space program knows this
ngl, if I only had 6 months to live, I would wanna die in space and float off if at all possible... idk why, it just seems... idk maybe romantic? leaving the world and all its pains behind?
I'm pretty sure some people have died in space, and not just during launch or landing. It's just been covered up, specifically by Russia. Countries were desperate during the space race back in the 60s.
"He'll be tried under US law"
Or... he'll take the entire craft hostage and isolate everyone he can't trust to the airlock where they can be dealt with if needed, keeping a team of people loyal to him and overriding anything mission control tries to do with the craft.
Please please 🙏🏼 can you make video about new world animals and old world animals
My respect for astronauts has increased by 1,00,000 times
Id swim back to the station
No atmosphere nor friction to help "swim" back to..
@@JamesLerem I would create friction by rubbing my legs together, then use that
@@I_am_BiG_Al yea that's possible... if you can get your legs to move as fast as rabbits. But then you'll probably start going in circles like Curly of the 3 stooges 😂
Did I miss the talk about Space not being real, yet? That NASA is lying? I love reading the comments in those debates!
No one touched on that. But they did talk about how an untethered astronaut will somehow miraculously float away, but the rocket itself, would never do that! MAGIC!
@@wordswritteninred7171 The spacecraft has tons of mass while the astronaut might have a few hundred pounds of mass including the spacesuit. If the astronaut pushes away from the vehicle what happens is that both objects will move away from each other but because the vehicle has so much more mass than the astronaut the astronaut will be more affected by the push. Its like being in the water and pushing on the side of an aircraft carrier. Theoretically the carrier moves away a little bit when you push it but the majority of the velocity change will effect you because you have much less mass than the ship.
This video did not at all cover what the title suggested, but I enjoyed every minute watching it. Great content, good humor, and nice edits!
Thanks for saving me 10 min.
Literally what do you expect us to do, chase him💀
