    The International Space Station is a great example of what can happen when countries work together and build something amazing
  • I've seen the ISS pass over my house twice. Both times I was in complete awe, it's one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. It moves at a pretty good clip too.

    I always found it interesting how they have to sleep with fans blowing towards their face because with out it they can create a bubble of CO2 and die of affixiation

    Watching alien movies while on a space station must be the ultimate experience. Or playing Alien isolation as well.

    I've seen the ISS pass over my house once before. It was amazing to see that point of light and think that's a whole space station right there. Within minutes it was far to the east of me, I could still see it and based off the tracking site it was over Russia at that point. I had no idea until then that I could basically see space over Russia from my house in the south of England. That was a good night for me.
  • Scott Kelly was left up there so long for a very specific reason. He has a twin brother, Mark Kelly, former astronaut and current AZ Senator. They were able to extrapolate a LOT of data about what a year in space will do to you when they have an identical control ‘sample’ on earth.
  • @RobiePAX
    I genuinely never knew that its called "International" Space Station because it was literally assembled piece by piece by different countries. I wonder if its possible to keep on expanding it, or you can't go beyond the original design.
  • @Bigbouncybobs12
    I love space, everything is about it even the scary parts are just incredible. If there was 100% chance of dying I would take it just to go into space
  • @everywhere7112
    The amount of effort you put into your videos is incredible keep it up.👍

    The ISS actually looks more like a moving star. It’s too far away to look like a plane. It’s about the size and brightness of a larger star but it moves slowly (compared to shooting stars) across the sky. If it’s a clear night and the view isn’t hindered by buildings, trees and such, you’ll be able to see it for about 10-15 seconds. It’s a pretty amazing thing to see!

    Most astronauts said the "smell" of space is really the smell of their spaceship/shuttle/spacesuit materials and the scent it gives off when exposed to the extreme cold and heat of space. That's why they say it smells like metal. While moon dust residue has a gunpowder smell. It's like asking what fire smells like by burning different things and then assuming that is the scent of fire.
  • @-Neo_Genesis-
    If the US and Russia can work together in space why are they "enemies" down on earth? 😔
  • @kevinm1734
    Never heard someone call taking a dump, "dropping the kids off at the pool." I love it
  • @Duhernt
    Thank you for making these videos. It's a great reminder to see what we can accomplish together. Your video really picked up my spirits today. 😊

    The narrator is the only person on this earth who can make me sit through a sponsor without being bored out of my mind
  • I'm not sure I would want to spend a year on the ISS. A long weekend would be cool.
  • @mtt9772
    I remember me and my family getting up in the early morning hours to watch the ISS fly by. To our surprise, we spotted not one, but two objects shoot across the sky. We learned later that the second object was the space shuttle Columbia, and that it had undocked from the ISS earlier that day. Unfortunately, it was the same mission that ended in disaster.
  • @pokayyyswishhh
    I love your animations! So cool! Much love and good vibes.

    I wanna be an astrophysicist, and these videos really inspire me!
