Space skydiving | What If You Took a Leap from the International Space Station? |















     Jumping out of the International Space Station ISS and skydiving all the way back to Earth sounds like the most epic adventure ever doesn't it well hold on to your space suit because while the idea sounds cool in reality it's a recipe for disaster yes first let's talk about where space actually starts most scientists agree that space begins at the Caron line which is about 100 km or 62 m above Earth's surface that's already way higher than any plane can fly and the ISS it's a whopping 400 km or 250 M up well beyond the common line cruising in a part of the atmosphere called the thermosphere but what blows people's minds isn't just how high the ISS is it's how how fast it's moving that's right my friends the ISS zooms around Earth at an insane speed of 27,600 km per hour that is 17,150 M hour to put that into perspective that's 23 times the speed of sound so if someone jumped off the ion assess they wouldn't just drop straight down like a rock instead the diver would keep or biting the planet kind of like the ISS does sure gravity is pulling the diver down but it's not enough to cancel out how fast they are moving sideways without some kind of Rocket or Thruster to slow them down they could stay stuck in orbit for for years before they even started falling back to Earth and here's the not so fun part no spacit could keep the diver alive that long they'd run out of oxygen and water way before they even got close to making it home and that's not even the worst of it up there the diver would also have to deal with space deis tiny pieces of Chunk flying around at thousands of kilometers per hour even a piece of debris the size of a bebel could hit the diver like a bullet but let's say somehow they Dodge all that and actually start falling back to Earth that's good news right well not exactly yes when the diver re-enters Earth's atmosphere things get seriously intense as they speed through the thick layers of air the friction between them and the atmosphere creates an insane amount of heat like 1,370 de Centigrade or 2500° F kind of heat that's hot enough to melt steel and their space suit yeah it's definitely not designed for that without a special heat shield like the ones on spacecraft the unfortunate diver would burn up before they even got close to the ground they'd basically become a shooting star except not the kind anyone would wish on if by some miracle the divers survived all the challenges they'd still face the final hurdle Landing falling at deadly speeds they need to deploy a specially designed parachute strong enough to handle the intense forces of re-entry if successful then slow their descend and touch down safely claiming the title of the ultimate record holder but for now this is the kind of thing that belongs in Sci-Fi movies not real life trivia time did you know the farthest anyone has ever jumped from is 41.4 to 5 KM above sea level yes in 2014 computer scientist Alan Eustace made that record sketching time.



Thank you....
