OH MY GOD, ITS LIKE THE VOID SHIP FROM DOCTOR WHO
My sexual orientation is Nasaty.
3:51: First of all, that's a RUSSIAN car, second, it's a Russian car from the 1970's, and third, no Russian car would EVER get that close to an American satellite in the late 1950's…
Iridiums, old generation are probably one of the first satellites I saw, seeing mag 8,5 flares was simply amazing !
Flat balloon society next
The first satellite i ever saw believe it or not was the Hubble Space Telescope. I was star gazing one night and saw this one was moving a big oddly being new to the whole star gazing thing at the time. So i aimed my telescope at it and zoomed in as best as i could and saw a slightly blurry (imagine 144p) Hubble. It had the new solar panels, so after STS-109 but before STS-125.
God ain't good
The first satellite I saw was the moon
I think I've never seen a satelite go over my head since I live in europe and the esa is launching stuff in south america
You don't have to do anything but this is a 😎 game
The first time that i saw satellites was when i used for the first time my telescope to watch planets and stars, and i've seen these blue dots in the night sky and i searched on google and i found out that those blue dots were starlink satellites
The first satellite I saw was the ISS coming home from work. I hadn't thought about being able to see satellites with the naked eye until then, but I made sure to show people every time I happened to see it again when out with friends.
Look I’m not trying to take away the subject of this video but I’m I just the only one who questions why the moon seems hallowed to allow the radio waves to bounce back?
The first sattelite I saw was Hubble passing over Brazil. Just before ISS, in same day! Amazing video!
I know i've seen many satellites fly overhead, but the first one(s) that were easily identifiable were starlink satellites, all lined up a few hours after they'd launched in the morning of that same day. My mom brought me outside after she noticed it, so I could identify it. Although starlink launches are routine at this point, I think everybody should still try and see the satellites in orbit.
"in space there is no atmosphere" – do you really think you're popping anyone's cherry here? i think everyone's heard of space before. couldn't you have said something useful here instead?
The first satellite I saw was the moon.
If NASA could get that much hard science out of two balloons, imagine what they could accomplish if given a larger budget.
I should write a short story where an old man is reminiscing about the early days of populating the exoplanet they live on, with this thing featuring heavily.
