I still have a FB account since it’s the only contact I have these days with a lot of my highschool friends. I logged in earlier today and saw this “NASA is a hoax” garbage in my “suggested” feed.
There’s nothing in my history to suggest I have any interest in conspiracy theories. My friends are probably right-leaning on average (I’m from a small town in the south - so it goes), but I clicked and none of them are in that group. So I’m sort of assuming this is promoted. Joy.
Facebook suggestions are based on nothing in my experience. It’s all clickbait and bullshit. The worst part is that there’s no way to turn this crap off.
I should be sleeping, instead I’m reverse image searching and found this on a related pic
The six-member Expedition 61 crew is gathered for a meal iss061e112462 (Dec. 31, 2019) — The six-member Expedition 61 crew is gathered together inside the Zvezda service module for a New Year’s Eve meal
Think if it was a hoax, you’d spend a lil more on your PR team to spread it around with a catchier story.
Sounds like some round earth propaganda to me
What is the square supposed to be proving? That astronauts can put objects somewhere and they’ll stay there in zero g? That’s pretty much how zero g works.
The orange slice appears to be balanced on its peel the way it would in gravity. But the ppl probably just placed it that way because that’s what they’re used to
Why would you put the part you’re going to eat on your yucky ol’ space table? They put the peel side down because they’re not maniacs.
Why would you put any part on the table when it could simply float 🤔
There’s a clip that regularly goes around the internet of an astronaut doing something like drinking a glass of water and they just let it go and are shocked when it drops. I’m sure the same thing happens in space when they set something down and not perfectly still and it kind of floats away.
Alright fine 😂
I imagine, they wouldn’t eat oranges in Zero-G, because the droplets would float around forever.
But of course, the least realistic part of this picture is that someone would cut open an orange and just leave it on a table like that.
They can eat whatever. Even spill drinks. Everything constantly moves towards the air ducts where liquids get filtered and solids get scraped. And sometimes you can find your lost pencil or flashlight there.
TIL ISS = ultimate fap cave
