It doesnt even look like theres any resistance from his body? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Nah not buying that,relative motion would be like someone inside a plane,but if you tried to hold onto a plane on outside,your going by by lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No they would just float away,with no velocity at all,iv watched other vids were the wire is loose,no tension an the astronaut using both hands,theres barely any pull or velocity but the station is travelling st supposed 17thousand mph hour mate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie, do a bit of research on “orbits”. A smaller body, like the ISS is orbiting a larger body , the earth, just as the earth is orbiting a larger body, the sun. The larger bodies gravity is always trying to pull the smaller body down, but the speed of the smaller body resists this and in effect it’s always falling around the curative of the bigger body, hence why the ISS doesn’t fall to earth and the earth doesn’t fall into the sun . The astronaut on a space walk is travelling at the same speed as the ISS . What would be the point of trying to fake all these things ? There is nothing to gain, and everything to lose if it were exposed . Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
