Project Blue Beam is spooling up!

I wonder what the next Satanic sacrifice date is?

I guess their skeletons decalcify after being weightless for 6 months or so.

Astronauts landing on Mars probably won't have any bones left at all. :)

Unless they spin it to make some artificial gravity.

So long Crew-1, great job and have a safe journey home. SpaceX is getting ready to webcast hatch closure on the Dragon for its departure from the zenith port of ISS later tonight.

5 for the effort. Will they be using the Russian return vehicle or a SpaceX vehicle?
 Quoting: mlabors


Dragon, this is the same capsule that launched last year on Crew-1.

Because that guy was only in the stratosphere (128,100 feet), not in space.

So? ....gravity still works the same...
 Quoting: Brit Perspective


The further you get from the gravitational source the weaker the gravity pull is (on any object).

An ISS occupant would float out there for far too long to survive before an eventual slowwwww re-entry (ie, satellites).

Elevation above the Earth makes all the difference in the world as far as gravitational-pull.

Why doesn't the moon come crashing back down into the Earth if distance is irrelevent??

Rockets are used to overcome gravity and to overcome a weightless environment.
 Quoting: Grey Eagle


When's the ISS due to slowly de-orbit?
Hope none of that debris traveling 20000 mph touches the astronauts while they're on their space walks.
Laughable.
 Quoting: Named Hero


ISS is constantly reboosted. It doesn't deorbit until we say it does. Spacewalks are dangerous for a variety of reasons, so yeah, have some respect for those who take the risk.
