“Running” up into space… An example of relative distance.

@BrianRoemmele Gravity's curvature of spacetime means 'up' changes with altitude. At geostationary orbit (35,786 km), Earth's pull is 1/3600th surface gravity. Tsiolkovsky calculated these orbital mechanics in 1903, decades before spaceflight.

Great example of flat earthers ignorance of scale🫣😂

❤️❤️❤️

No. 3 below is actually the biggest misconception for most agency owners.

Don't forget the communication satellites (36000 km) :)

This is cool! Great visualization for understanding the different demarcations in space with respect to Earth. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Now show delta-v required to achieve those distances and you’ll see how much gravity warps our sense of “effort” required to achieve those distances.

400k to the international space station doesn't sound that far away anymore, just short drive up Hahah

Wow they must think I run really fast!

the vid soft shills “that’s how far we’ve gone”, but what about the moon? 🤔

i can throw a rock to space...
