The unscripted feel to this really brought home the magic of the ISS. Committees tend to over-script things, presumably to maximize a particular message; however, having some nerds geek out about cameras in a very remote, high tech vehicle is just pure goodness. Thank you to Mission Control for this free form interview.

Man this reminds me how kind you were to reach out 7 years ago to include me in your water drop in space video. I think I still have a copy of the footage Don Pettit filmed on the space station to Bach's prelude. What a privilege you let me in on to get to play a part in that video and speak to a guy who's currently on the ISS. Thank you!

Do they give awards to people for things like this? Destin deserves some type of of the year...SOMETHING to recognize how important something like this is for people to see, especially young people. For someone who just makes videos on the internet, Destin sure does get into some pretty important places that the general public would never get the chance to see if not for his work. Thanks Destin. Thanks also to the people around you helping you make these videos. They deserve credit too.

I can imagine them giving an interview on earth and dropping the mic each time they intend to pass it

[mettattem]

Fun factoid: the interview lasted approximately 29 minutes and during that time, Don & Matt traveled 8, 458.33 miles!

15:19 Thanks Matt for this little clip!! There is so much to see at the base of the cupola that doesn't get shown often at all because it's not as "exciting" as the view out the window.

[BeyReaper]

Everyone on the ground imagining they're on the ISS: "Hehe. I'm in space"

Actual Astronauts when they're on the ISS: "Hehe. I'm in space"

11:01 seeing a hand spin on a lens in HD is like someone casting a spell or something. That was weirdly surreal

[kennethuhle]

as a NASA flight controller who downlinks crew imagery, i can confirm that both Don and Matt take tons of pictures and videos lol. after hearing about their search for sprites it makes more sense haha

[kaysb]

Don Pettit is such a awesome guy. Never a boring interview with him. Awesome to see "new" people like Matthew too, following Don's example. And Destin, thank you for giving them the time to geek out like this. I think they appreciate it.

I was expecting the ND film to be perfectly fitted to the exact size of the window but 23:00 it's just slapped over the window, maybe some double-sided tape holding it on. Love it.

[caocao]

I am blown away by the clarity of this video!! Feels like I'm there. Also, thank you Destin for asking the geeky questions most reporters would never ask.

[dtpk]

So much pure, genuine joy and curiosity on display by all 3 guys in this video! And mind-boggling views!

[sirnutcase]

3:49 The way he just tossed the mic to the side, then the other picks it up then another small strow to the other hand. idk why but that looked so cool :O i imagined myself in zero grav for a minute, and thinking to do the same. Great one :D

[Veptis]

I must have seen the Don Pettit video on Destin channels like 4 or 5 times by now. So happy to see it's still continuing.

Another Don Pettit video I have seen 10 times or more is rheir visit to the Royal Society with Brady on the Objectivity channel.

7:51 My earthling brain stopped working for a split second

[jtrentadams]

This is absolutely the most interesting and interactive interview with astronauts on the ISS that I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!

[ghost]

Destin should visit the ISS while it's still up there.
He's walked through the mockup and swam through mockup in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab. Actually hitching a ride would complete the trifecta.

[redwolf]

I work at NASA. Matt and Don are two on a _long_ list of my favorite astronauts - they're both awesome. I wish I got to work with them more!

[androiddave]

ISS + Three brilliant people + Incredible Equipment + EDC Photo Gear Carry for Astronauts = Masterclass ... and when Don calls out the 'Big Guys' in Hollywood for their camera technique he obviously overlooked the fact that the 'Big Guys' in Hollywood are watching this, taking notes, and thinking this is way better than anything we ever did !! Amazing.
