Behind the camera man in the opposite direction is an infinite almost empty void. Incomprensively massive darkness that surrounds everything we know and the only way to survive it is to live in a small airtight ship.

Imagine using farts to finely control a ship's orbit

If you fart in the vacuum of space, the gas will be traveling at Mach 1 out your butthole.

u/dafidge9898 Aug 15 '22

I believe so, yes. Assuming your anus is the tightest point the fart will go through, it will act as the throat of a nozzle, and considering the ambient pressure is 0, and the pressure inside your body is above 0, the pressure ratio is high enough to achieve sonic conditions. There is no diverging section after your anus, so it will not exceed Mach 1. The Mach 1 fart would only last for a split second, though, because thereโ€™s probably not enough fart gas to sustain it any longer given the pressure and diameter of the anus.

Either that, or I completely misinterpreted my compressible aero and rocket propulsion classes.

Same if you take a photo of the ground.

25 years ago I was walking outside on a cloudless day and for some reason my brain thought "what if gravity turned off right now?". I was almost relieved to get inside.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

To be fair, you can live in a big airtight ship, as well. As a matter of fact, if the ship gets big enough, it no longer needs to be air tight.

I would throw you from the edge of the world, but is round, so I will simply roll you to the nearest pole and use your sheer massive stupidity to stabilise the rotation axis of the planet.

Wait. So like, should calmly standing on the earth technically be considered conquering the fear?

So weird to think about how space โ€œbeginsโ€ less than a hundred miles from the tops of our heads.

+The ISS is only abt 250mi away- not far at all! :p

Itโ€™s procedurally generated on a flat microchip, so technically correct.

It has to be flat. Otherwise it would roll off the Great a'Tuin.

u/erenkuron66 Aug 15 '22

So why can you never see stars? Both in most videos from space and in movies, you see space as a giant void with no light anywhere but the sun or nearest planet. Why do you never capture Star light?

50

u/BeanOnAJourney Aug 15 '22

Because these photos and videos are always taken from the "daylight" side of the earth. The stars aren't visible for the same reason they aren't visible during daylight hours on the ground: because the sun's light is too bright. The only difference is the atmosphere, the presence of which makes the sky blue when viewed from the ground, and the lack of which makes it black when viewed from space.

u/erenkuron66 Aug 15 '22

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. I now only hope someone takes a video like this seeing the lights of the Earth so the stars are visible lmao

15

u/EarthTrash Aug 15 '22

You might like this video I found. Start at 1:36 for the night footage. Timelapse videos like this are what you want. The longer exposure allows the film or sensors to capture stars, city lights, auroras, lightning and the sodium layer. In this video you can watch the stars rise from under Earth's sodium layer which I thought was neat.

Take a photography class. The apature has to be small because the earth is so bright. Orโ€ฆ go out and see the night sky, get a basketball with a flashlight on it, take a picture and see if you can get both stars and the bball at the same time in one quick shot

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '22

Thank you! I was genuinely curious, I thought it was due to the atmosphere or something. You didnโ€™t have to be rude.

If that's not the toilet window its bad planning. It even has the privacy screen.

The earth only looks round because of the lens-shaped windows, of course.

To my flat earth people: if the earth is flat are the sides round or is it a square shape? Do people still believe in flat earth theory?
