Jump From Space: What Happens If You Do A Space Jump?

Jumping from space is considered to be quite a task. And with good reason! Because no one has ever done it, or even attempted it. Red bulls sponsored a high-altitude jump performed by Felix Baumgartner, and it was famously called a 'space jump'. After him, a Google executive Alan Eustace performed a space jump from an even higher altitude.

Skydives are cool, right? We humans want to jump from high places… well, some of us do. The current world record for the highest skydive is held by a Google employee Alan Eustace who jumped from an altitude of around 41 kilometers. Red bull space jump was carried out by Felix Baumgartner. But what would it be like if someone jumped from the International space station (ISS)?

The commentator has misspoken when he has said that there is much less gravity at the height the ISS orbits at.
In fact, the ISS experiences 87% of the earth's surface gravity at its orbital height of around 250 miles.
It's only because it's travelling at over 17, 000 mph that astronauts experience weightless when onboard the station, not because there's no gravity up there.

This is the longest definition of "impossible" ever given

[yungbob]

What about the Red Bull Space dive. He skydived from over 60, 000 ft from a space capsule.

[psbbbbbbb]

I was looking for this answer from so long

[asadkhanShahzada]

Thats why I always wanted to be Iron Man

[saness]

Felix already jumped from space to earth🤣🤣🤣

[PD-qbek]

I love how everyone calls a pole a building. Tells you something about our ignorance and idiocy.

[RoughAndWretchedRAW]

You could sky dive from that height if you could figure out a way to slow your forward orbital speed to match earths rotational speed. The extreme temperatures of re-entry are mainly from the friction of the atmosphere bleeding off the forward orbital speed not the speed of decent. Question would be how to slow orbital speed, by like 26000 miles per hour, before you descend into atmosphere to prevent burning up?

Michael Jackson Jump into space and dance when he lands down smooth criminal😃

[riperian]

Finally, someone tells the truth. That was no "space jump".

[WhyteLis]

Extremely dangerous!

But, with the right technological equipments, planning, safety provision, technical foresight and enough balls, I guess it can be done.

Never underestimate the human stubbornness!

Someone, one day will have enough balls to try the jump beyond the ISS.

Regardless, whether they live through it or not, I feel. Lol.

[natsuki]

Is that what people do after they're ejected from amogus

[scottpowell]

My question is could you prevent being burned from the mesosphere if you slow down your fall before entering? It may seem way too soon to pull your shoot but descending your fall causes less friction, right?

[immortis]

Just apply the opposite thrust to decrease orbit speed and eventually fall, then I'm not really sure about the heat of reentry but people are not the same size as a spacecraft so idk if it's appropriate to compare them, I feel with proper technology and planning it could definitely be done. Jumping to earth, not staying in orbit:P

[kyle.hildebrand]

Who said the ISS must be the starting point?

[daviddavids]

at 1:41, this 'falling towards the earth' Metaphor is WRONG. googletranslate

[shashankpathak]

Hey just a fact check, the gravity at the surface of Earth and at ISS is almost same.

[sriramulasreelekha]

Why person spins in earth's orbit?

[yeetonykp]

It reminds me the movie Wall-E, so many trash are orbiting in the atmosphere now.

[donaldduck]

Why don't rockets experience air drag from the atmosphere when going into space?
