Shuttle approach to ISS (at 6x speed)

[losability]

I can understand nasa needs a gullibility test now and then. But why americans want to pay for this??

[knowpassword]

and some of you people were taking a shit while this was happening over your heads.....

[simonshack]

Nice, steady aerial shot! Did you film that from a Cessna or a helicopter? :-p

[meteor4163]

It's impossible to see your shadow at over several kilometers above the ground (How much exactly depends on the size of the object you are in).

Because you are not seen to cover the sun entirely from any point on the ground. Because the sun is lager than you.

[TheAxlSlash555]

the song is gay! thats more important!!!

[kevinstuartfr0st]

it is funny a shadow on the ground from a plain approx 11 miles high is massive,but the shaddow from a space shuttle on to clouds approx 280 miles away and it is tiny :)

[shittyfuck]

air on the G string owns !

[Warthog1976]

Great video olbicard, thanks for sharing ;-)

[TOIJALANABC]

Are they doing the pitch revolution so the ISS crew can inspect the ceramic heat shield and verify it wasn't damaged during the launch?

[thegeckoproduction]

well i mean ive heard that there alot of evidence liek you said. but the question is and i may be wrong did they show a pic of earth while they were there? then i think they might have gone but if there noo pic of earth then i dont think they did

[thugsterz]

you can see the shadow of the craft on clouds

[gww1]

@thugsterz Unfortunately it isnt. Its just a bit of dirt on the lens - keep an eye on it right at the beginning, when the camera is zooming in and out. Think about how small the shuttle will look compared to the sun when you're on the ground, theres no way it will cast any shadow that you could make out.

[ShibbySeagull]

You can see a shadow on the right side in the upper corner. It is not part of the watermark, it moves when the spaceship is also moving.

2020 views and 7 ratings? Shame.

[2012nibiru]

at 0:28 (and not only) the space shuttle is moving so wierd like ther`s a background, look.And when they film the orizont why never see any of those satellite`s ....13.000 or how many ....

[olbicard]

What do you want? It's all computer graphics, it's cheaper to make than to fly a real shuttle. It's all american and russian propaganda.

[sail027li]

@2012nibiru Idiot!

[bigdaddy9247]

What would happen if u fell out the space craft right about now??

[olbicard]

You would bump into nearest cloud and would go back up.

[jursle]

@bigdaddy9247 depends on at which moment. If you would fall off it when it's attached to the ISS, you'd follow roughly the same orbit as the ISS.

If you fell off the shuttle when it's still going up, it depends on how far you've come.

If it's far enough from the arth, you'd fly past the ISS and every other space station, right into empty space, and you'd obviously die.

If it's close enough to Earth, you'd fall right back down, and splatter on the Earth's surface. You either get to ISS or die.

[Lucassandro25]

@bigdaddy9247 there's so much air pressure (about 14 bar i think) that you die in a few seconds

[ccenis]

@bigdaddy9247 U can't fell, cause you are still moving the same speed as the shuttle and in the same orbit. Since at that altitude there is little to none atmospheric drag you will continue orbiting the earth for years until your orbit eventually decay to an altitude where the atmosphere is dense enough to burn your ass to few grams of ashes. But don't worry , you will asphyxiate in a few hours cause your oxygen will ran out.

[sail027li]

@bigdaddy9247  Following the same orbit, you would more or less drift alongside the shuttle.

Same music as used for the external view on the simulator "Orbiter".

Quality :)

[SaintSkyler]

I think this song is called "Air on the G string" but I cannot remember the composer. Google it. Lovely footage.

[regregex]

Johann Sebastian Bach, of course; but who did this 'schmaltz' arrangement?

[petkovmarin]

Nice video and music. :)
