Destin's math worked...
Space Station Transiting 2017 ECLIPSE, My Brain Stopped Working - Smarter Every Day 175 |

Without any doubt.. That's the best video regarding the eclipse!
It's the million dollar shot and I hope they get recognized for it. |

Cool. I love his videos. Especially the hockey one doing the slap shot.

Destin is a smart guy.
He has applied multiple times to be an astronaut but has been turned down each time. He has the education and industry background to qualify. Smartereveryday is one YouTube subscription everyone should have. He shoots guns also. |

I couldn't care less about the eclipse... But that was cool ask fuck!
Just think if more people would apply themselves doing stuff like this instead of protesting dumb shit. |

I'm afraid he won't get it when he's going against legit combat-proven SEAL doctors. If he does, I predict he'll be the face of the program shortly there after. |

Dang I just found this and put it in the "awesome" thread, didn't see this one till now. My favorite quote:
"Look, I'm a minister and I don't think that counts as a swear....because he's a cowboy." Funny that his reaction mirrored mine in just about every way. I had a bunch of cameras set up and everything, hoping to set it on auto, forgot to take the lens caps off the binos till halfway through, but the best description was that my mind was overwhelmed. |

What is mind blowing is that ISS is a little bigger than a football field and it orbits the Earth at about 4.7 miles per second. 17,200mph. An object that big moving that fast. https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/issartisitcomparison.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7221/7311917006_c419d262c5_b.jpg View Quote |

I've spotted the ISS here in Wisconsin several times over the years, what really impressed me was how fast it covered the angular width of the sun.
It seems "slow" when you watch the ISS cover the sky from horizon to horizon, taking over a minute, but when you compress it to a still shot with a background to gauge it against like the sun, you really can see it zipping along with it's orbital velocity. I've seen the photos of other sun transits of the ISS, but never one in video. I didn't realize how quick it was. |

Wow
That ISS must be moving some fast. Edit: Does the ISS or any satellite for that matter, always have the exact same orbit or does it change? |
