    • @Sofia-ne1tl
      @Sofia-ne1tl Před 4 lety +25

      @Joe Chang - the astronauts are floating, and in most on the interviews they're holding onto bars placed on the iss floor/wall with their feet, to stay on camera. every small touch could meke them move, bouncing between the bar and the floor (law of action-reaction).
      -that depends of what apollo mision you're whatching and the respective position of the sun and the earth. and as you could see here the ligth reflected by the moon at nigth, the earth reflects ligth on the moon too. also the surface of the moon and the space suits of the astronauts. that causes diferents shadows too.
      - images of galaxies billions light years away are taken by telescopes like hubble, that are configurated to take pictures of huge objects (thousands ly of diameter) that emit their own ligth at that distances. you can't use it to take pictures near, because will be out of focus. and objects like the buggy or the flag are very small (1-2m or less) and doesn't emit ligth. so, with the resolution of the camaras that we have today on earth you can't have a clear picture of those little objects at that distance (380000Km). but there're pictures like this: www.space.com/12796-photos-apollo-moon-landing-sites-lro.html
      - i've never seen a conversation with the iss without any delay, probably it's your apresiation. what video are you talking about?

      Most Canadians are so nice! (I said most cause there are always exception) I would like to say the same for us Americans but there is a more crappy to good ratio in Murica.... 😕

    He is so energetic, and just fun to listen to. He is so proud of the the things he has done and so proud of space he seems to love talking about it and the wonderful thing is that he never comes off as cocky or like he is bragging. Just a man with pride in himself and his accomplishments having a long and in depth but lighthearted conversation.
    But what struck me was that he seemed just as enthusiastic about talking about space stuff that didn't have to do with him specifically. Obviously most of his stuff referred back to himself...but for something like being an astronaut...it's not the most common thing so the only real thing you have to refer to is you and your own experience and I loved every single second.
