Thumbs up Just astounding - the ISS speed.

Just looking at the BBC feed of the ISS. You can track it across the globe.



Puts it into perspective as to how fast it moves in orbit

Love it!!

What's more astounding is the number of man made objects it can strike, 17,000 tracked objects I read somewehere recently.

Excellent
I remember doing the tour at Kennedy, and they tell you to put things in perspective, the trans atlantic journey most took to get there would be approx 12-15 mins including take off. Kennedy to London lol
