- Frank De Winne is answering a question on the ISS submitted by Paul from Portugal:
When you do your EVA (space walk), can you feel the speed (28.000 Km/h) at which the ISS is travelling? - Věda a technologie
he explained very well...
I would hope soo
Justajoke Forme - why? Having knowledge doesn’t equate to being able to teach well.
So did my physics teacher when I was at school
@-RINZLER- If it's in steady flight then no, you won't.
That must be scary fast
This question was killing me since morning, thank you so much.
Me too😪
Hans Wilsdorf You must be a proud parent, then
same
Basic school physics would've helped
This question had already killed me long back. Now I'm resurrected with this answer.
I'd love to go there! Except for the toilet...
Omg that's exactly what I feel too!!
@@varuntulsyan2558 Just train with vacuum cleaner :D
@@swiety1981 I like how you think
🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You gotta swallow everything while you're brushing your teeth. I hope you're aware of this fact while you say this :)
Peace ✌
That was a really good question, and a really good answer!
When the ISS passes over my home it is amazing how fast it appears to move through star fields and clouds. I think the longest it has been visible under the best conditions is 4-5 minutes, but usually much less. I remember the balloon like Echo satelite which orbited so high (~1000 miles) was visible for up to 15 minutes.
Enjoyed this ESA video and thanks.
I have never even saw it
This was something I always thought about .Thank you for clearing my doubt .You guys are our real heroes 🙏.Love from India ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Yup got answer, U all are really Hero..
Love you all
What's your name My Hero?
I wish to follow you on Insta.
This is the best answer I ever heard about how we perceive speed. You probably can't get a better one =) Thanks Frank.
Space walk must be the greatest feeling. So jealous
It must be the most insane surreal experience!
I did a space walk at a disco once when I was drunk.
Nah
WHOA! That view was CRAZEEEEY!!
Much love from Slovakia! Europe rocks!
10 years ago damn CZcams will break itself or I just gone die because I can’t see something like “Uploaded 37 years ago”... or even more... one just only one app will have it all like FB & Twitter & IG & CZcams & Google etc
Very educational ... Thanks for that! and enjoy your time in space!!
Thank you for clearing my doubt
Sir from childhood i was curious really how the astronaut feels in moving high speed ISS .Thanks for explaining the problem 👍👍
Awesome, I always had this question.
i had same question in my mind.... Explanation with example made me to understand well. Thank you.
Very informative. Explained very well thank you
Very well spoken. Loved it.
This was my question during a live stream. Finally got the answer.
But it's obvious, isn't it?
this video answers so many questions i had about life
He did really good explaining it.
Hi, sir! How does it be possible, if the station travels at higher speed, and the other NASA machines from different contributing countries followed as they send it above to be connected to the main station? How do they follow the station? Are there speed controls? May there be a collision? Thanks!
Earth circumference is about 40000km at equator.
At the speed of 28000km/h, ISS orbits the earth in 90minutes.
So in 24hours, it orbits the earth 16 times.
Isn't it fascinating?
Outstanding explanation!!!
Very well explanation. Thank you
It’s actually because of the law of inertia: when you leave objects alone, they travel with constant velocity. Constant speed is relative, so in you car or in your space station you don’t feel because you can consider yourself at rest relative to your vehicle. For the ISS add Einstein’s principle of equivalence: you can’t feel gravity if you are in free fall, as objects in orbit are. Oh, nevermind...
F=ma, no acceleration no force. Newton’s 2nd law
You are right but you can explain it much simple
Genuinely couldn't have explained that any better. 💪
You've just answered my question. Thank you.
No problem!
Thank you for the information,God Bless.
Appreciate your clear answers
Glad it was helpful!
Now I know why riding a bike is more fun than riding a car. Great insights
Bcz you can feel the speeeeeeeedddd
Very well explained! ❤️
Beautifully explained.
Glad you liked it
very well explained... now i understand
Speed is all relative. The Earth is also travelling at hundreds of thousands of km/h I think. But we don't feel it because we travel at the same speed as the earth below us.
Not hundreds of thousands... it orbits at a speed of 67,000 and spins at about 1,000...
@@kenna.9368 Yes hundreds of thousands... As it is orbiting the sun and rotating on its axis, the earth along the the rest of the solar system is zooming through our galaxy at about 490,000 km per hour.
So as he pointed the camera to the earth why didn’t it look like it was going fast?
Our local galaxy group is moving towards the Great Attractor roughly at 600 km per second but we don't feel a thinklg cause we are moving with it.
This question was bothering me since 3 days, thanks i gon answer
My Son always asks me how come you don't really feel like your moving while in a car. Now I can explain it to him.
Very nice answer!
Awesome video! Hehe, look at his background, see that huge lensxD
Wow, what a view! Great video!
Simply explained 👌🏻
You guys rock!
Most astronauts seem to be very pleasant persons. Well, I suppose this is an important criteria to select them: For PR reasons (As humans in space are far more a problem than a solution, the happy few must make us dream, and I feel personally truely payed off with this kind of video: This is happening, nothing to do with Hollywood special effects or a computer simulation), but first of all for team work efficiency. Like on a boat or in a submarine, altruism is a virtue. Thanks, Frank de Winne!
Nice explanation
thanks short and clear answer.
the answer was so simple that we never thought about it..yes when we travel fast in a car or plane we never feel the speed...
Very good and nice information.
Thanks for liking
great video
Wow, wery nice and very clear answer!
Thanks!
Omg, this is Frank De Winne, he is Asgardian! so nice to see him in space. :)
I wonder, when moving around in the ISS, does one feel the same sort of acceleration of walking forward or backward relative to a moving bus/train?
The comparison to a motorcycle is very well put
Where do they keep the coffee maker?
I'm likely being really dumb here, but there's one thing I don't get. Once they open the hatch, I understand they don't feel the resistance of 8 km/s, as there is no resistance. However, that surely must mean that they need to be somehow connected to the ISS at all times, in other words - if the cord and cables with which they are attach would somehow detach, then the ISS would leave them behind at the rate of 8 km/s (or a little less, as the detached astronaut would likely still be hurling through space at maybe 7.8 km/s from the time of detachment)?
Best explanation sir😊
Thanks and welcome
Hello. What was the flying object which appears in a moment when camera looked outside of the window?
Ok I agree with you. but what about the air resistance while you get out side the ISS?
I know!! How incredible is it! I want that job SOO bad!!
Well explained, thank you
I wanted to know so badly👀❗ i wish i could go there!
Legitimately almost shat myself when I noticed that camera with the behemoth lens.
Good question.
His mission (OasISS) takes six months, so it ends 1 december of this year, an American will take over command (expedition 22), and Frank will return to earth.
amazing
thanks for the explanation but why space station and things move fast in space can you explain plz
yeah ! i wanted to write a comment about that to !
That’s the difference between velocity and acceleration. Once you’re at a stable velocity (equilibrium) there’s no longer a feeling of acceleration
Because there is no acceleration
@Shivaji someone using their brain! Love it
What happens if there is an emergency such as someone passing out or throwing up or what happens if someone dies?
Very well explained
Thanks for liking, Dave!
Makes total sense now
Very helpful
what does a magnetic compass show in ISS ?
Wha form oft propulsion system was used to get the ISS up to the speed 18000mph?
What is the effect of antigravity on plasma in a vacuum? If you put a Jacob's Ladder in space, how would it react? I know that plasma on it rises due to the heating of the air below it, and the air rises, but in a vacuum, there is no air, so how would it behave? Would it even arc at all?
Well explained
So he's flying 28.000 km/h around the Earth.At the same time he's flying 107.000 km/h around the Sun.At the same time he's flying with the Solar system at speed of 820.000 km/h around the center of the Milky Way.And at the same time he's flying 2.100.000 km/h through the space with the Milky Way. And to think that there's even more..
I want that camera on the right.. Please? ^^
If one jumps outside ISS away in the opposite direction , how fast are they moving from iss?
where has this been my whole life>
I'm from Portugal too :)
take care & be safe there.. 🛰
I wonder if it's disorientating or nauseating to go on an EVA because of the speed at which the Earth moves below you. It must be so incredibly weird.
28000 km/h relative to earth?
Yea
Umm it might not be relative to anything, I am not sure
@@letsgamingyt1 Speed and motion always have to be relative to something.
I was thinking of this before, thanks youtube!
Happy to help!
@@EuropeanSpaceAgency I have a question that has been bothering me for days.
Does the change in weight (when astronauts dock or leave the ISS) affect the orbit of the ISS?
...how long is this dude's torso?
No Gravity to squeeze his spine
When you're in microgravity the hips are usually the only place where you don't exercise much as a result you can look at the amount of bone loss in the hips
Now THATS a real question...
He's Flemish. Like most northern Euros, they're very tall on average.
@@LYbmtUdpyvI1JVBN Idk about other northern EU nations but I dont really see a lot of tall people here in Finland at daily basis. On that note I myself am 172 cm tall and I'd say that I'm pretty close to the average around here :P
Those clouds don't seem to be moving fast away from the space station though.
Great 👍
Good answer
Watching it in September 2019
na its already october lol
I guess his question was: Why are the astronauts during EVA are not being left behind since the ISS is moving very fast?
In other words,can we achieve a greater speed out there in space because there's no resistance/atmosphere?
Even if we are in a spaceship travelling at the speed of light,we wont feel anything because there's no resistance?
That's sort of the case, but you still need a force to propel you to high speeds such as rocket power and gravity assists. Also, at the speed of light you wont feel anything because you're basically stuck in time at that speed; speed of light dilates time so much it stops. Outside observers can see you moving at the speed of light, but you wouldn't even notice them.
Correct, as long as it isn’t accelerating you would feel nothing
Interesting thank you.
Thanks for watching!
And how to walk outside the space at 28000km/h?
End when you work out of station?
You can answer by asking anything on earth “can you tell you’re moving so fast (were all going like 400mph iirk. Could be different. But we are all flying through space incredibly fast
I just hope the flat earthers understand this concept, I often see them arguing about how they cannot feel the speed of the earth.
@Andi B You demand scientific proof, but you deny after somebody is providing it. yeah
welcome sir
MAY I ASK SOMETHING ? HOW BIG IS THE ISS IS? IS IT PLANTS AND OTHER MICROORGANISM COULD SURVIVE ALSO IN ISS LIKE US HUMAN?/
You were in the FGB, in the russian segment, am I right?
Yes
NO, He was in zvezda
These things are taught in high school? Ok no harm in brushing up on a couple of facts 😋
yeah
But why u feel more pressure of entering from space to earth ground????? And y u feel speed inside capsule??????
