Five things we learned from the first interactive flow of NASA tweet from space

When you think about the live living service, you can connect it to gamers, influencers and Even politicians Playing live video games for everyone to see. But on Wednesday, Twich jumped into space, implementing the first of its kind live with the NASA astronaut from the International Space Station.

The creek happened at NASA Official channel for cramp And he presented himself with an astronaut at the moment in space and another who returned to Earth, with both being engaged with viewers living on the platform.

The current host of the space was NASA's astronaut, Don Petit, who joined the ISS crew in September as part of the Expedition 72. Petit is known For the incredible space photos He often publishes on social media. NASA's astronaut Matt Dominic, who is currently on Earth, has also joined him after returning with the crew-8 in October After being delayed by Hurricane Milton. Dominic also took Some Pictures of Pictures of ISS.

Here are the five things we learned from NASA's Twitch stream this week.

Return from space stinks

Astronauts answered questions from fans and students all over the United States, at one point referring to how it was to return to Earth after spending time in space.

Petit noted that it takes about a day for him to achieve “awareness of the stomach”, which he described as an ITEUBER way to say “shooting the intestines”. Dominique repeated this feeling.

Space photography has its own difficulties

Dominic talked about how fast the ISS is moving around the Earth and how it affects the time he needs to take pictures. In one case he had a task painting the hurricane Milton He said he had only about 30 seconds to do so because the ISS is moving “funny fast”.

Petit joined the creek for about 10 minutes and both astronauts immediately began to discuss the complexity and difficulties of photographing space. They both talked about making thousands of pictures – especially thunderstorms – to get Pictures of red springsWhat are flashing eyelashes that appear above active thunderstorms. Both were successful in photographing red springs in the past, but were more successful in Photographing blue aircraftA type of lightning that shoots up thunderstorms.

Petit also showed his photography setting, which includes A Nikon Z9 with a variety of lenses of heavy work.

Coffee is still important in space

Because Petit tried to demonstrate physics with yo-yo, ISS lost contact with his satellite, ending the short debut of the Twich astronaut.

Petit is the designer of the Capillary Cup of ISSthat allows astronauts to drink coffee (and enjoy its pleasant smell) on the ISS without escaping a hot drink. The Desirel of Petit to drink in space without using the tricky bag method and tightening inspired the idea.

According to Dominique, this was not assigned a task. Petit invented him at a whim.

According to Dominique, Petit often says that “today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee,” because most water, including waste like urine, are recycled and re -used over and over. Over 90% of waste in water is recycled to use it again.

The two stuck astronauts on ISS

Dominic was asked about astronauts Sunni Williams and Butch Wilmorewho were two additional guests on the ISS since June, because of Boeing Starliner can't carry his two passengers at home.

He said there were a lot of materials on the ISS and that the distribution of resources, water and oxygen is not a problem at all.

However, if a similar question occurred during the Moon or Mars mission, it would be much more dangerous and limited to resources.

“I have no idea what we are doing”

Dominic noted that scientists from the country are designing experiments, and astronauts are trained to perform.

“Many times, I have no idea what we are doing,” he said.

Dominic ended the discussion by talking about stress and mental health. ISS astronauts are encouraged to participate in various activities to maintain their mental health.

For Dominic, photography was a hobby that helped him fill his classes and reduce stress.

How to rethink NASA's Twitch stream

In many ways, the creek was like everyone else on Twitch, except this, left people to talk to astronaut 250 miles above the surface of the earth. The creek can be seen in full on NASA's Twitch Channel.

Conversations on Greek may be unstable on the occasionBut NASA managed to bring enough moderators and no one did. The flow increased to over 16,000 concurrent viewers.

“This twitch event is the first of the many,” said Brittany Brown, NASA's communications director. Blog -Post. “In addition to our space places, launches and landings, we will be hosting more current like this.

This is not NASA's first Rodeo

This is not the first NASA twitch conversation from the outside of the country's atmosphere. Agency broadcast space walks after cramp and its own NASA+ platform in the past.

But this was the first stream where people in the conversation had the chance to engage with astronauts, ask questions and communicate otherwise with people in space. The previous streams were mostly only a view.
