@unbox_factory: he International Space Station Travels at 28,000 km/h - Without You Feeling It The International Space Station orbits Earth at roughly 28,000 kilometres per hour, completing a full orbit approximately every 90 minutes, yet astronauts inside feel absolutely no sensation of that speed at all. This is because both the station and everyone inside it are in continuous free fall together, moving at the exact same velocity, which is the same physical principle that creates the experience of weightlessness throughout the spacecraft. At that orbital speed, astronauts aboard the ISS witness roughly 16 sunrises and sunsets within a single 24-hour period, far more than anyone experiences on Earth's surface. The station has remained continuously crewed since November 2000, making it one of humanity's longest unbroken presences beyond the planet's surface. Speed becomes meaningless without something to compare it against, and in orbit, there's nothing nearby to notice it by. #iss #spacestation #orbitalmechanics
