ISS - International Space Station - Inside ISS - Tour - Q&A - HD

NASA Astronaut Sunita (Suni) Williams gives us the best inside tour of the International Space Station (ISS). How do astronauts live on the ISS? How do they go to the bathroom? How to the eat food? What Kinds of special equipment and technology do they need and use? Is the International Space Station real and not a hoax?

All these questions are answered in this short documentary.

The International Space Station (ISS) which is a space station in low Earth orbit. First launched into orbit in 1998, and now its the largest artificial body in orbit and can often be seen with the human naked eye. The crew can only stay in space orbit for several months maximum, then then must return to Earth. Science experiments are performed. The ISS interior consists of pressurized modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets as well as American Space Shuttles. NASA and many other countries help construct it.

There’s something really comforting about this woman. Really made for a nice and fun video

[nor_cal_trailrides]

Her understanding of everything that's going on and ability to explain it is very impressive.

[AntGeezer]

Fascinating. For someone doing such a serious job in such a dangerous environment, she doesn’t take herself too seriously. I couldn’t cope for an hour cooped up in there. Huge credit to the people, the unsung heroes who do this for months on end. My hat is off to you all. Stay safe.

Sunita (Suni) Williams is by far my favorite NASA Astronaut. She is extremely Smart and ambitious yet unpretentious! For someone who ran the first marathon in space, is also a Test pilot, owns the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, AND has an elementary school named after her, she yet continues to "serve others" and donate on many levels. A true model of inspiration!

Humans 10, 000 years from now will think this is so primal. Like this is really a glimpse into humanity at such an early time of space travel.

Never realized how useful gravity is and at the same time how annoying it can be.

Honestly she is impressive. Her very descriptive yet simple detail about everything is so awesome. She makes me not scared to try a mission like this, she is so calm and knowledgeable. What an amazing human. How brave some humans are.

[ChrisGilland]

as someone who is totally blind since birth, and also is very fascinated with the stuff, this was awesome! and I really appreciate all of the verbal description that you gave along the way. simply amazing!

What I love most is the cooperation between all the involved countries

[EzraB]

I'm a Navy Corpsman and many of this mirrors a military deployment. The dehydrated food (basically MREs), the lack of personal space and comforts - that's what got to me oversees. I went through that and I still can't imagine the psychological stress being aboard the ISS.

The best thing is that astronauts do this, not to serve war mongering politicians, but for the advancement of the human race and our ultimate transcendence into outer space/other planets. For it they are the real heroes. G-d bless these people.

“I haven’t sat down for 6 months now”

it is SO WEIRD to hear that spoken out loud 😂

[BeautyQueen]

My 10 year old son and I watched this together and loved how she easily explained things especially for kids. My son loves learning about space! Thanks for inviting us. AND I'm proud to see her representing women in science 🙌 ❤️

The best 29 minutes of my life - AWESOME!!!

[febbreez]

just imagine how it feels like to walk after 4 months of floating :Dd

[Tuslareb]

Everytime I look up at the sky at night, I know there are two Russians making coffee.

[breakingaustin]

A really cool fact that not a lot of people realise is that, on the Space Station, there is about 89% of the gravity we have on the Earth's surface. you might not even be able to tell the difference.. however, you, and the Space Station around you are falling down towards the Earth really, really fast. That gives you the illusion of weightlessness inside the cabin. You are also moving forward at 17, 500mph also, so even though you are falling towards the Earth, you are basically constantly missing the edge.. this is called orbit.

[Ceratosaur]

It depresses me so much that I’ll never get to experience Space....

[jivi]

Why do I feel its hard breath while watching this 🤣

[flix]

ISS is so cool. like the concept of a space shuttle that is bigger than a regular gas station or maybe even two (weird comparison) is just so cool.
i've been studying the ISS for a few days now and i'm starting to realize how cool this ginormous spaceship actually is. someday i want to be an astronaut and go on the ISS, but that might be a while cause i'm only in middle school. so until then i have these amazing space videos to watch.

[secretariatgirl]

How they deal with the stress of being up there for so long is amazing! She does an amazing job explaining what all this is about!
