OP never mentioned flat earth.

Here are images from NASA's EPIC:

That should close the debate.

because they can't.

you're right I can totally tell by all the pixels. they're everywhere

Too many other beings and ET ships in space at this point. It would destroy the illusion that we are "alone in space".

Honest question. Why can't we get live streaming footage of people inside the space station as they film outside one of the windows? (showing earth from their pov?)

Because they have the equivalent of 56k dial up? The connection is just enough for the occasional video and communication between nasa and the crew.

Because there is no space station, and the earth is not a planet.

2 words, Concave earth.

Because space travel is fake! It's another way to suck our tax dollars to fund projects that benefit weapons manufactures. There was no moon landing and the planned to trip to Mars is bullshit. All space travel is fake CGI crap. I agree, WAKE THE FUCK UP SHEEPLE!!

So are you saying the space station is fake? What is the little light I see pass in the sky when the station is flying over on the internet? I have seen a lot of computer generated shit put out by NASA.

It's a bug flying close to the camera your eyeballs

Flying over on the internet? Have you seen it with your own eyes? All I've seen is the fake CGI images the so called space station is taking as it supposedly flies over the earth. NASA is fake and everything they do and say is fake.

I look at where the ISS is on the map and then I go outside to look and every time I have done so I see it pass overhead. What is it if its not the space station?

There is something up there, but there are not people on it.

Well what the heck is it then? It's super bright and moves very fast.

Low orbit craft, not in space.

Low orbit craft, not in space.

That's really not how any of that works, but good try.

How does it work? The heat in the upper atmosphere, Thermosphere, is said to be 3,630 F - 4,530 F. ISS is supposed to gravitate the earth in the middle of the Thermosphere. How would the space station remain cool enough for humans to exist? I see the space station is supposed to have windows too? Glass and metal that can withstand 4,530 F? Nice and cool inside? Astronauts going outside the space station in space suits in 4,530 F? Pure lunacy. Completely fake.

You ever open the oven? That air is 300-500 degrees. Why does 200 degree water burn almost instantly but you can stick your hand in 500 degree air?

Heat capacity is a function of mass. Since the air is -very- thin up at that altitude there isn't much heating even though the average velocity of the particles is high.

None of the principles involved here are untestable on earth. Go heat water to 140 degrees: 140 degree water will burn in approximately 30 seconds. A blow dryer's output is roughly 140 degrees, yet you can withstand the blow dryer for far longer than 30 seconds.

While the thermosphere is part of our atmosphere, it's also a part of space. It's like saying the waves on the shore are still part of the ocean: yeah, you're not wrong, but it's basically beach at that point.

There is also such a thing as radiating heat. And it's possible to radiate the heat you absorb from the environment. You see this when streets bake in the sun and you can see the waves of heat emanating; the street radiates more heat than it absorbs and therefore, it doesn't melt. It's the same principle with the ISS. It is built with materials that intentionally radiate more heat than it absorbs. That is how it survives the thermosphere.

What a load of bs. Glass too? Open you eyes, NASA space station is a complete fantasy. Space suits too? LOL

Rule 10. Removed.

Again, why can't NASA just provide actual photographs from outer space? Why all the CGI? Because NASA is fake. Who even knows if this information is correct? If it came from NASA it is probably made up.

Deflection. Gotcha.

The heat in the upper atmosphere, Thermosphere, is said to be 3,630 F - 4,530 F. ISS is supposed to gravitate the earth in the middle of the Thermosphere. How would the space station remain cool enough for humans to exist?

I think you're operating based on intuition about how temperature works in our everyday experience - you grab something hot, it burns you. This is great for things like solids, and gasses at 1 atmosphere of pressure, but that intuition simply doesn't work once you get high enough.

The atmospheric pressure at the Thermosphere is absolutely minuscule, so there's almost no heat transfer from the atmosphere itself. The space station does absorb plenty of heat from the Sun, however. That's why it has a bunch of big radiator fins parallel to the sun't rays - the flat segments heat up, and then that heat radiates away into space.

It's also important to distinguish between the three ways heat is generally transferred - conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is what happens when you grab a hot pan, Convection is what happens when you hold your hand above an open oven door, and Radiation is what happens when you're facing a bonfire ten feet away. There's no convective heat transfer and very little radiative heat transfer in the Thermosphere.

Big radiator fins? What about the space station itself? How can metals handle that much heat? What would the radiator fins be made of? Absolute lunacy.

Basically, only part of the craft is being heated so you can pump a refrigeration liquid(in the I.S.S's case ammonia) through various systems to carry heat from side being actively heated to radiators aligned on the far side of the craft which are not actively being heated by the sun.

It's just like how your CPU without thermal protection or a heat sink will rapidly hit hundreds of degrees celcius and start to fry but with a water cooling block on top of it you can keep it at a stead 40-50 degrees celcius

What about the space station itself? How can metals handle that much heat?

Most of the outside of the station is covered by alternating layers of mylar (to absorb radiation from the sun) and a special fabric to insulate each layer of mylar from the others. The thermal shielding, as a whole, maintains thermal equilibrium.

What would the radiator fins be made of?

Based on a quick google, the radiators are made of aluminum, and mostly help dissipate heat generated inside the station. They use ammonia instead of liquid water because the dark side of the station can get cold enough for water to freeze, but aside from that they're pretty pedestrian. They're huge because they can only dissipate heat through radiation, and not convection like a household heater or a car radiator.

Absolute lunacy.

Your personal incredulity is not really an argument I can address.

By pumping liquid along the outer layers of the space station, you can take the heat from the sun and transfer it all to the thermal radiators further away, thus keeping the station a constant temperature.

OK, so these pictures that are composite images on the website are not real images taken from space? If not, can you link me something on it? Sounds interesting

Google "fake ISS space station." There are loads of videos showing how most of it is filmed underwater, you never see any stars in the background, and the space station astronauts are always filmed in zero gravity planes. It's a complete farce. ISS Hoax.

You realize you can buy a half decent telescope and see the ISS with your own eyes very easily right?

Have you seen it with your own eyes? You are telling me you could see an object 356 ft x 240 ft over 300 miles away? That's like taking a telescope in Los Angeles and reading a bill board in San Francisco. It would have to be a pretty powerful telescope. If you can see it, maybe it's not as high as NASA is claiming.

The orbital height of the ISS is 249 miles, not over 300 miles, and the ISS has roughly 120 times the square footage of a billboard, more akin to a skyscraper than a billboard. A standard pair of binoculars can do 30x zoom. Do you think you could make out a skyscraper from 10 miles away?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you.

Actual, yes. In fact, you can see car sized satellites a the time. Go out into the country, and just after dark, watch the night sky and you will start seeing white streaks going across the sky following the same pathes. And if you are lucky, you will see a triple set of dots all right next to each other, which is the ISS.

Lol right.
