  • In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded an extensive tour of the orbital laboratory and downlinked the video on Nov. 18, just hours before she, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency departed in their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft for a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. The tour includes scenes of each of the station's modules and research facilities with a running narrative by Williams of the work that has taken place and which is ongoing aboard the orbital outpost.

    I was going to show my 5 year and twin 4 year old daughters 3 minutes of this. They were GLUED! At about 10 minutes I offered to turn it off and watch the rest later, and two of my girls shouted, "NO!"
    It was VERY cool - both the video and their reactions.

    Great tour! Felt like I was there - that she was really talking to ME! I loved how she seemed like a mermaid swimming through one of those little castles they put in fishtanks - and like Alice floating down the rabbit hole. And how she talked about finding her bearings on the earth by types of clouds. Very cool! Sunny, you rock!!!

      ***** dream on, you forgot about the nuclear physics of the discovery of polonium halos in granite among other things presented at a world symposium in the seventies published in Geologic Times and Science, and other major journals (all in the vidoe) that proves beyond any doubt whatsoever earth is less than 10,000 years old, and fiat creation czcams.com/video/bbK9xZ3984I/video.html

      QUOTES
      "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the
      American public believes is false."
      CIA director William J. Casey,
      1981
      NASA
      "You have already learned that Earth's atmosphere is
      composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen. These gases are transparent
      to incoming solar radiation. They are also transparent to outgoing
      infrared radiation, which means that they do not absorb or emit solar or
      infrared radiation."
      National Center for Atmospheric Research
      "Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and
      oxygen - both of which are molecules made of two atoms. The atoms in
      these molecules are bound together tightly and unable to vibrate, so
      they cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect."
      Science Museum in London, England
      "Nitrogen and oxygen don’t absorb infrared energy in
      our atmosphere because their molecules - composed of two identical atoms
      - don’t vibrate or rotate at infrared frequencies."
      Maryland University
      "The major components of the Earth's atmosphere are
      listed in Table 1. Note that the most abundant gases are not the
      greenhouse gases -- carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides and water
      vapor -- but are instead nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen,
      however, do not absorb energy in the infrared region, as do the
      greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, with the exception of water
      vapor, are present in the atmosphere only in trace amounts, on the order
      of parts per billion (ppb) to parts per million (ppm)."
      Columbia University
      "While the dominant gases of the atmosphere
      (nitrogen and oxygen) are transparent to infrared, the so-called
      greenhouse gasses, primarily water vapor (H2O), CO2, and methane (CH4), absorb some of the infrared radiation."

I've always been curious about them, since they're pretty much the most reliable and successful human spacecraft ever built. I've read they're really cramped--evidently a severe understatement!--so, I'm wondering why do the hatches open *inwards*? I'm surprised the guy who has to sit in that middle seat can even fit inside!

Also she told me that the sun rises and set 16 times in their day! So, that means they have to be on a specific time zone to stay in contact with NASA also she has to know Russian because they work with Russia too! She was so cool and inspiring!

      I'm a believer but I don't agree with this statement. Actually almost all middle ages scientists were priests or monks. Some of the first Universities were established by Church.
      The more you understand the beauty of the Universe and it's complexity the more you realize how awesome God is to put it all together.

    • @201114chris

    • @Kiido11
      @Kiido11 Před 9 lety +4

      mikiwoodie It's true that the vast majority of scientists in the middle ages were clergymen. However, the reason for this was that the church maintained very tight control over knowledge and information. Additionally, they enforced that scientific writings were entirely in Latin, a language only taught to the nobility (and these nobles were educated in religious institutions).
      Your argument is therefore circular. Scientists were mainly priests/monks because only priests/monks were given the opportunity to become scientists in the first place.

    Nicely done and very interesting. I think I could do all of it except getting into that tiny return module and doing the drop. yah! They do need to figure out how to baffle/cancel the noise from the air vents for those guys. Very impressive Sonny. :)

    Terrific, I have watched it twice and will again. I have mentioned the tour to many of my Ham Radio Friends and posted it on our Facebook Group sites. So very interesting and well done. Hopefully this is shared with everyone who has an interest in visiting the Space Station. Thank you again.

    I had no idea what purpose the space station served, but this tour was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

    I am into space ever since I saw the film Gravity! Incredible film! Being able to "fly" up there in space sounds so cool! I would love to be weightless! Amazing ISS tour!
