Can someone smart please explain, I'm an idiot #asknostr

I don’t know if you are serious but both the astronauts and ISS are falling at the same speed.
I want to edit “falling” and say “traveling” because in space falling would be more of a perspective thing.
When you’re in the ISS you’re not in zero G. You’re in free fall or microgravity. Same phenomenon as the vomit comet.
Astronauts have no gravity in respect to the ISS. But they both are being pulled by the earth. It like why you can sit STILL on a MOVING car.
Imagine you are in the car riding with a friend going 70 mph. You can interact and both of you are comfortable.
Now, imagine pushing that person out the door and what would happen. That might help explain it better.
Grade 9 stuff. Go watch a SpaceX rocket launch livestream.
is that one of these where the rocket goes up in a shallow arch and comes right back to the ground? 
No actual meaningful difference
Try sailing without trigonometry… please 😉
Yes... Launch land and relaunch.
New one will be rapidly reusable like a airplane. The notion that it comes right back down is incorrect. Part of it stays up there. A really smart guy told me on podcast he knows moon landing is real. Cause you can just buy a telescope and see there shit up their. Try it .
Gravity. Kepler worked it out a couple of hundred years ago. What's the matter with you?
because both the shuttle and human are orbiting around earth at a speed, centripetal force is balancing centrifugal force and the human can appear "floating" within the shuttle thanks to balanced forces
It’s more or less the same but it’s not technically no gravity like the flat earther meme is implying
I did 👇. The iss is only about 240 miles up. At this altitude the force of gravity is about 80% what it is on the surface, but because of the fireball orbit, everything appears "weightless".

There is no such thing as "no gravity" at all. Given that all the objects in the universe are in perpetual motion relative to each other, there isn't a single static point at which the overall gravity is zero for any length of time.
I think the only notable difference is, that a man in a 90-minute orbit would observe a rotation around one of his axes by 4 degrees per minute (360degrees / 90 minutes).
Free fall, not fireball. At least not yet.
Lagrange Points...
I knew that would be coming. But the Lagrange points aren't static even in the extremely limited system of just Sun, earth, and mood, let alone the other planets. And I was talking about the univere. There's a bit too many objects there, generating gravitational pull…
How long do I have to be in free fall microgravity until my hair turns into a cement brick?
My favorite will always be how they load women's hair with hairspray to make it look like it's floating around, but it ends up hard as a rock and moves with their head 🤣🤣 (example: 00:25)
Pure comedy. #NASA

It’s my fault for engaging on this thread
🤣 appreciate you stopping by my corner of weirdness bro, have a zap for your time
FlatEarthers are my favorite creatures.
In the Czech Republic, a discussion was created where Flat Earthers discuss with educated people from the field, and as a surprise for the Flat Earthers, the last discussant was the only living astronaut from our small country.
This astronaut's friend and colleague with whom he was in space died in other rocket launch crash few year after they flew together. These Flat Earthers were trying to tell him that his friend is still alive, but just under a different name and in secret, because it was all one big conspiracy.
That alone sounds ridiculous...But even more ridiculous is that the world's greatest conspiracies always come down from totally random pepegas.
I wonder why 🤔 Maybe because we are all controlled sheeps and only they can see the truth 👁️👄👁️
I'm too immersed in math and physics to give you an answer you would accept
The only excuses for continuing to push the flat earth conspiracy are wilful ignorance or trolling.
they both follow the same path of least resistance through space-time
I've been playing Prey (2017) lately, on the space station there is an interconnected series of tubes that retain microgravity (instead of artificial gravity) for moving heavy freight around the space station. I thought about that concept for two days...
Bible belters think they on to something. Maybe they are. How the fuck will we or they ever know?
Flat eartheres are actually dead srs. At first I thought they trolling too. 🤭😃
Science. Science is how we know and how they keep being proven wrong.
