You have to shake your head while you're up there just to focus back in on what you're
doing because the visuals absolutely fill your mind it's just overpowering it's the
most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life constantly like Niagara pouring
into your head and somehow you've got to clear all that and focus on fixing the space shuttle
For over two decades a hidden world has been orbiting high above our heads
but what Secrets lie within the International Space Station from hidden messages to
unidentified sightings here are 15 Secrets about the ISS that will keep you up at night
The ISS has a number of streams where anyone can watch The View as it orbits around the
planet and sometimes these streams show things that can cause people to start
asking questions during one of these streams a few viewers caught a glimpse of several objects
whizzing by the space station at high speeds before flying out of view of the cameras many
now believe that this may be evidence of a UFO visitor and have drawn a lot more
attention to these streams from people anxious to catch a glimpse of possible alien visitors
foreign if you are able to take a look around the ISS and I mean a really good look around you may
be able to find some secret messages left for the astronauts aboard rumor has it that engineers in
charge of constructing the station wrote names and secret messages in various parts of the station
those aboard have said these writings are often in spaces that cannot be seen but occasionally
they will come across a message left by those who helped make their time in space a reality
on one trip to the ISS taken by Russian astronaut Anton scrapillov a few swabs
were taken from the outer Hull of the station and after analyzing these swabs they found bacteria
living in the cold harsh environment of space the first evidence that life can find ways to
survive in even the most unfriendly conditions these single-celled organisms did not have the
protection from harmful radiation and solar winds like those aboard the station have so the fact
that life was able to find ways to survive in these conditions is incredible [Music]
we are all familiar with the four states of matter solids liquids gases and plasmas well
get ready for another because researchers aboard the ISS have been able to create a
new state of matter called a Bose Einstein condensate the properties of this new state
of matter is distinctly different from the other states which have properties
distinctly different from other forms of matter with one of the main properties of
a VEC is that a large percentage of its particles occupy the lowest energy state
several years ago Russia was sending a payload of supplies to the International Space Station
that included fuel water and food for the six astronauts aboard but when official photos of
The Craft going to deliver the goods were released NASA scientists noticed another
object attached to the rocket that was not on the Infantry and when confronted about
it Russian officials simply said that it would be a scientific payload intended for a one-time
trip aboard this message brushing off NASA's concerns puzzled others and brought rumors of
secret Russian experiments aboard a Station built on collaboration could they be running
secret experiments in order to prepare to launch their own space station in the near future [Music]
in order to prepare for travels far beyond our planetary bands astronauts aboard the ISS have
been growing food aboard the station for years these include various fruits vegetables and
leafy greens that can help keep astronauts happy with a fresh and balanced diet but
upon the completion of some recent tests they realized that something was present in the soil
and on the produce that they had never seen before they had discovered a new species of
bacteria that must have evolved from bacteria that hitched a ride from the surface how long
will it take for other organisms in space to evolve enough to be considered a new species
for the past decade and a half the ISS has been at the Forefront of research making it one of
the most important scientific Laboratories for the modern day the research has been one of the
main sources of understanding the effects of space on the human body and how to best combat
the negative ones it has also greatly Advanced how scientific processes that well understood
on Earth change as they are performed in the vastly different environment of space until
its decommission the ISS will continue to be on the Forefront of scientific advancements
making a spacecraft airtight is a critical step in designing them to make sure those
on board can breathe and are protected from the vacuum of space but given this it may
surprise you to hear that air leaks aboard the International Space Station are somewhat of a
normal appearance due to the external forces on the station Fasteners and other pieces of
equipment can get loose and spring a small leak but not to worry as the crew are alerted to this
and have plenty of time to find and repair these types of leaks before major damage can be done
but one time when one of these leaks was brought to the attention of the crew and
they rushed to find the source what they found wasn't at all what they expected this time air
was leaking out of a hole drilled by someone on board while the leak was found and fixed in a
timely manner the source of this hole remains a mystery nearly five years after the fact
the ISS orbits Earth at extremely fast speeds over seven and a half kilometers per second or
five miles per second and thus makes 16 complete rotations around the Earth in a
single day this gives the crew the unique opportunity of witnessing 16 sunrises and
sunsets every day so if you are on the ISS you would experience a solar day every 90 minutes
the International Space Station is a collaboration of 15 different countries working together to
further Humanity's understanding of our universe but this can obviously also lead to problems
as the relationships and interactions between different nations are not always positive what
would happen aboard if one nation decided they were finished working with the others
the International Space Station at its heart is a laboratory conducting
cutting-edge research while floating over 400 kilometers 250 miles above the surface of the
Earth the ISS is in a state of constant Free Fall keeping it in orbit around our planet
foreign [Music] it may not surprise you to hear that spending months at a time in
the zero G's of space has some possibly significant side effects to the human
body as you use your muscles less and receive significantly lower impacts on your body in a
zero gravity environment spending long enough in space will cause your body to atropathy and
weaken the longer you remain off of Earth there is also evidence that time and space
may cause your DNA to alter itself as your body starts to adapt to life in this new environment
completing 16 orbits a day gives the ISS one of the best views of what is happening
across the planet every day and being equipped with some of the most advanced video equipment
its ability to monitor the globe is hard to match could it be used to survey what
is happening on the surface what could the extent of its abilities to monitor be
foreign
the International Space Station has been in orbit around our planet for the past 25 years
since 1998 and some believe that it's dodging of all major catastrophes may be statistically
coming to an end and it may be time for it to retire without this pillar of cosmic research
what will these countries do to fill that void when the time comes for the ISS to come down
what will come next thanks for watching if you've enjoyed this video be sure to check out some of
