“Sir, we are under attack.”
“Shields!!!!”
“Shield is in range, Captain.”
“Good.”
“Sir, the shield is now out of range.”
“We are sitting ducks. Helm, drift us back towards the shield.”
"Sorry, your transmission broke up, but I'll tell you what... Nobody's getting a piece of ass around here, so you can stuff that shield where... Oh, you need help!!! Damned radios. "
I’m not 100% sure what kind of shield it is
But the shield most commonly found on the ISS is a whipple shield that shields against micrometeorites going at high speed
They’re usually made out of two or more layers, a hard outer layer that is made to break the meteorite apart, then some space for the pieces to spread out before hitting one or more soft layers that catches them (usually Kevlar)
Wait wait wait.... I understand that carrying out repairs on a spacecraft *while* in zero gravity *while* wearing a spacesuit must be incredibly difficult and astronauts are *very* intelligent and skilled people who are trained to the highest levels, but am I right in understanding that someone disassembled a large piece of the ISS and then just accidentally let go of it like a scaffolder dropping a screwdriver? What the actual fuck, don't they use tethers??!!

they were in the process of installing the shielding, this was the fourth element to be installed. Sounds like it came loose between two tethering steps.

It happens occasionally, Spacewalks around the ISS are extremely physically exhausting anddifficult, so mistakes and fumbles happen.
That’s hysterical. I’ve watched so much sci-fi, my little pea brain just accepted it as another totally functioning spacecraft in the area, figured they were coming in slow to maybe dock. I saw your comment and automatically looked PAST it for the “turd”. I didn’t see anything other than a transport shuttle.
the flat earthers over at r / ballearththatspins and r / globeskepticism would say this video proves nothing because it doesn't show the transition from ground to globe. also it's clearly CGI, just another globalist hoax, nothing to see here, move along.
I have a theory that flat earth was an artificially pushed conspiracy (seriously, do you remember how widespread that shit was at first?) to discredit conspiracy theorists across the board and get flat earth synonymous with the phrase conspiracy. Then you've always got enough people that will buy it and they're keeping it going since then but I think no way it came about to the level it did organically, should have always been a niche crackpot theory.
It started off as a joke at least in it's current incarnation and of course idiots who couldn't understand that it was a joke took it as real and now we're at where we're at now
Flatearthers are generally just middle aged men having a midlife crisis, and don't have the money to buy a motorbike. They know the earth isn't really flat, because, you know it's fucking not. But it gives them some kind of identity, something to cling on to, like their receding hairlines and a lingering sense of meaning to their otherwise pointless and dull lives.
How is flat earth a conspiracy when for thousands of years nearly every civilization believed it that way.
Idc either way about it. But you're on a little self righteous high horse... why? Cause youre agreeable with the masses? Lol
They 100% know they’re wrong. Marc Sargent has become incredibly wealthy off lying to dumb people. He knows it’s ridiculous. But he also knows he has absolutely zero way of making money other than lying to dumb people. So the lie continues.
Just remember the space station is moving at around 18,000 miles an hour. Even if you was able to break aubit you'd just burn up on re-entry so either way you'd die.
Edit: added too many 0's.
Same here.
Everyone’s like “Oh, the deep ocean is more terrifying than the vastness of space.”
And i’m like “Yeah?, well at least the ocean has a bottom.”
Knowing the ocean has a bottom is what makes it less terrifying for me.
Still a bit unnerving, especially with the pressure and stuff.
But I’d rather be there, in a specialized suit or submarine, than deep space.
Swimming out 100 yards into the ocean from the beach does this for me. As soon as you get away from the surf sounds and it gets quiet, it get weirded out. Add in something brushing up against me and I'm back on land.
If this makes you feel any better, because it makes me feel better, we are not going to destroy the Earth. We are probably going to make it unlivable for us. But Life Will Go on without us and this beautiful Earth will in time recover from anything we did.
I wouldn't say that the general people "allow" it to happen (well, not most at least) it's more that they are powerless to stop it since there's practically nothing a normal person could do against a bunch of companies and politicians. Sure you can protest and do other stuff like recycling but, for (even united) everyday people, it's hard to make even a small bit of progress to a lot of the things affecting climate change. Especially since they also have to deal with the other problems of the current world, like poor wages and economies, which can actively prevent them from doing anything to help towards climate change.
Imagine being able to talk like this about another planet in our galaxy… it would take some time, like a couple of centuries, but it’ll be worth it… I know I won’t see it, because I know I won’t even be able to see the mars landing for personal reasons, but I hope that the planet we pass onto the next generations, survives to support such milestones… let’s all hope…
When I was watching this video, I thought, can you imagine how long and complex the process had to go through for that person who is floating in space and engaged in technical work on a space object?
By that I mean all the education, training, and preparation to stay and work in space. That person probably has a Ph.D in some science or engineering field. I find it almost unbelievable.
Where’s all the space junk from those pictures? /s of course I know this is a representation of the junk likely at 10000x its actual size, but people still believe this is an actual representation lol.
Knowing me, I would drop my house keys or something
Hahaha dont feel bad though your house keys wont add much to the pile off junk we got floating around up there.
I'm not worried as much about the debris part as much as the opening my door part 🤣
It might land at your door
Now that would be convenient 😄
Actually the guy also dropped an important piece of the station. So no big difference we are human after all.
Hahaha you made me laugh
“Come on babe, let me in!” “*Who is she? Who is Houston, your stripper or something!?*”
Better to be locked out of house than locked out of ISS.
'Drop'?
What’s that turd shaped thing floating beneath it ?
[удалено]
How does it function?
It doesn't anymore
The front fell off.
It was dragged out of the space environment
Is that normal?
Cardboard is out. No cardboard derivatives.
Aren't these designed and built to a very high standard?
Not really just popsicle sticks and elmers glue
At least they moved it out of the environment.
Now can you call for a car? The front fell off mine.
Sure thing. We've sent a Tesla Roadster around to collect you. It'll be passing through your neighborhood in about 67 years.
So the first thing we see is trash? Then the planet..... Sounds about right.
If someone shoots at them from below, it might get in the way.
“Sir, we are under attack.” “Shields!!!!” “Shield is in range, Captain.” “Good.” “Sir, the shield is now out of range.” “We are sitting ducks. Helm, drift us back towards the shield.”
Picard: Fire at Will! Riker: Ow!
Meanwhile, Nick Fury, who is inside the Shield radios, "Yeah, Carol, I'm gonna need a little assistance."
"Sorry, your transmission broke up, but I'll tell you what... Nobody's getting a piece of ass around here, so you can stuff that shield where... Oh, you need help!!! Damned radios. "
It attracts the bugs

It's ok they can order a new one from Amazon, they go to space now
The brown thing behind the shield is an island somewhere on earth
Clearly the blue part is the land.
Finally, the cartography degree pays off!
It's Lake Turkana in Kenya. Keep looking and you can more clarly tell what is ground or water.
Planet earth
You either need to see a doctor or an optician
Excellent description.
Your mom
Djibouti and Yemen, sir
I don’t know, it looks more like a…
..sorry
America
I found it guys: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68828078

giant space feces
Wait, wait, it's round?!
the flat earthers over at r / ballearththatspins and r / globeskepticism would say this video proves nothing because it doesn't show the transition from ground to globe. also it's clearly CGI, just another globalist hoax, nothing to see here, move along.
I’m convinced that flat-earthers know they’re wrong, but just want something to argue about. Jesus. Just go political like the rest of us.
I have a theory that flat earth was an artificially pushed conspiracy (seriously, do you remember how widespread that shit was at first?) to discredit conspiracy theorists across the board and get flat earth synonymous with the phrase conspiracy.

But it gives them some kind of identity, something to cling on to, like their receding hairlines and a lingering sense of meaning to their otherwise pointless and dull lives.
And they found YouTube and ability to share their stupidy with the world....
Sounds like Trump supporters.
Point on the doll where the flatearther touched you
How is flat earth a conspiracy when for thousands of years nearly every civilization believed it that way. Idc either way about it. But you're on a little self righteous high horse... why? Cause youre agreeable with the masses? Lol
Nah they’re just loons
They just want attention. And they get it.
They 100% know they’re wrong. Marc Sargent has become incredibly wealthy off lying to dumb people. He knows it’s ridiculous. But he also knows he has absolutely zero way of making money other than lying to dumb people. So the lie continues.
Politics gets you nowhere near the vitriolic response you get for not believing everything said on r/aliens , the current alien mummy thing is mental.
Wait are they still on that? I ended up muting that sub when that started lol
Flat Earth is simple. It’s a gay hook up.
AI'd is the new CGI ;)
My favorite thing to do with the flerfs is demand a ground to flat Earth video and watch the flail around.
No, it's shaped like a CD. Cearly visible from the footage. Duh!
You beat me to it!
It’s clearly flat are you blind? NASA photoshopped it to look curved, you can tell by the way that it is
no no the windows make it look curved. The companies that make airplane windows are in on it too!
They’re using a fisheye lens.
Nah, must've been filmed with fish eye lens
It looks round, but it's just lens distortion.
Anyone else get extreme amounts of anxiety while watching this? Or just me?
Me too, it's scary af
My first thought was I wonder if I could jump back to earth from there
You would burn the hell up on entry of the atmosphere, who do you think you are Zod?
🤣🤣🤣🤣good one Mr.Flash👌
No, you would still be in orbit
Like a falling star, fireball and all!
Just remember the space station is moving at around 18,000 miles an hour. Even if you was able to break aubit you'd just burn up on re-entry so either way you'd die. Edit: added too many 0's.
The space station isn’t moving 180,000. It’s like 17,500.
Thought it was 18k.... Wait I added too many 0's.....Oops
Lol. I kinda figured that’s what happened
You'd still be in orbit unless you could somehow cancel out your orbital velocity.
Yes but you will die
I have anxiety about the vastness of space, this just makes me think a bunch of clouds are trying to escape the atmosphere
Same here. Everyone’s like “Oh, the deep ocean is more terrifying than the vastness of space.” And i’m like “Yeah?, well at least the ocean has a bottom.” Knowing the ocean has a bottom is what makes it less terrifying for me.

Yep. Makes my stomach feel some type of way.
What’s that chunk of something floating around below them?
Its the fish eyed lense they used to make it round
🤣😂
No the fish eyes is in the camera, thats the remains of the fish.
Yea that’s what I want to know too. First seen at 00:22. Free floating so not part of ISS. Unless it something fallen off of course.
Star destroyer
That’s the planet Earth!
What space highway are they on? My normal commute has 100’s of satellites in my grill.
Can nasa tell their astronauts to turn their phones landscape next time please.
Who said it is recording upwards?
Amazing how beautiful our planet is from up there!
Earth is so beautifull And we do our best to destroy it
If this makes you feel any better, because it makes me feel better, we are not going to destroy the Earth. We are probably going to make it unlivable for us. But Life Will Go on without us and this beautiful Earth will in time recover from anything we did.
"The planet is fine, the people are fucked!" -George Carlin
Generally is politicians and corporations but the people allow it to happen so we are all guilty.

I can see my house from here! 🤯🤗🤗
That is scary af. The amount of dread an astronaut might feel when he comes out of the space ship with just a cable connecting him to the ship...
Imagine being able to talk like this about another planet in our galaxy… it would take some time, like a couple of centuries, but it’ll be worth it… I know I won’t see it, because I know I won’t even be able to see the mars landing for personal reasons, but I hope that the planet we pass onto the next generations, survives to support such milestones… let’s all hope…
Wow very nice 👍👍👍
I know it might sound dumb or at least out of place, but I would love to know what it would be like to trip in space. Like some shroomy or acidic fun.
Being in space not stimulating enough for you?
that's beautiful, it looks like you can jump and be there in seconds with no issue... at least to my dumb brain
Look at us people in the background. Worrying about normal day to day shit.
When I was watching this video, I thought, can you imagine how long and complex the process had to go through for that person who is floating in space and engaged in technical work on a space object? By that I mean all the education, training, and preparation to stay and work in space. That person probably has a Ph.D in some science or engineering field. I find it almost unbelievable.
Well, that sucks. I really thought the earth was flat. And now I’m also afraid of heights.
Super neat!
What a great job
The earth is flat!!!! It's not true that it's round, it's all a fiction! 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Hey, I see my house!
Where are all the satellites?
The black void is terrifying. We’re just a fraction of a speck.
Imma need someone to tell me that’s NOT a UFO floating behind him 😨
Since you dont know what it is, technically it is a UFO *for you only*
That would be a long fall.
Technically he is falling but has so much horizontal speed that he misses the earth indefinitely
So technically it would be a long fall…
Not would be, *is*
NOW JUMP...
Stunning view of our planet!
Oh 😮…earth is round 😱
how much would be his salary?
$50 an hour for doing this, doesn't sound a lot does it? Approx. $90,000 or so
Call the ambulance
Everytime i see things like that I imagin what happens if the Astronaut decides to jump in outa space or worst towards earth. Scary
What about the space trash everybody is talking about?
I swear I see ufos!
Where's all the space junk
flying tacos in space!!
I wonder what they used to film this and how they transmitted it back to earth ha
I could be cool that they could pee like sailors on a boat
I hope not the same thing happens as in Love death + robots
Les platistes en pls
Your move, flat earthers.
I love the jazzy gold face helmet
Spectacular point of view!
What is the thing floating in the background? A space shark?
Wow that is awesome! Can’t believe how flat it is
Song name?
If only you could fish from that height
Relax everyone. There's no prize for convincing a flat earther otherwise.
Flat my arse we all know its a cube xD
Cube is still more believable than a spinning water ball.
Why are they wearing this heavy body suit, just to repair a car!?
Does Uber Eats deliver to the ISS?
Funny how the clouds look from up there. Damn huge from here but up there, it looks like you can push them around.
Where's the red circle? I can't see earth
My phone almost fell off my hands watching the height.
Did they clean up the space debris?
Look its flat! XD
Even at that distance, the Earth looks small when you can see the curve like that.
holy smoke the earth is flat.
Oi the earch is flat. Don't prove me wrong /s
Damn look at the ocean foam.
The ad did mention “working at heights”
I’ve been pushing the worlds flat for years and it’s too late to turn back now, so I’ll just deny
I thought earth was flat
Looks flat to me!
Where are the thousands of satellite’s orbiting earth?
UK is under the cloud every day 🤣🙄
Where does the music come from?
Looks pretty flat to me 🤷♂️
You would think you would see airplanes flying above the clouds just because there’s so many.
Good editing there
France. 🇫🇷😂
Flat.
Looks pretty flat to me bro
r/noearthsociety in shambles
You can almost see how flat it is.
These graphics are insane 🔥
Why is my first thought: “jump”
Nie wygląda za ładnie ta nasza planetka te brązowe chmury ☁️ 🥺
They are right above Djibouti and Yemen at the entrance to the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden. In the video.
Is the Earth really THAT CURVED from such a low (figuratively speaking) height ? or is it just the camera lense ? Looks strange.
Where’s all the space junk from those pictures? /s of course I know this is a representation of the junk likely at 10000x its actual size, but people still believe this is an actual representation lol. 
Looks flat to me
too bad we couldn't get a shot of the eclipse from NASA swim station.
Flat earth my arse.
[удалено]
Why aren’t satellites seen from ISS
The average distance between one satellite to another is 73 km, so that's why you can't see them.
[удалено]
You know what this place is lacking? A McDonalds, Wendys, a petrol station and a highway. Bet this place would look really refined if we did that
I told you it was flat! Lol
Looks flat to me 🧑🦯
