Los astronautas NO FLOTAN! Descubre por qué!

The video explains the International Space Station (ISS) as a collaborative artificial satellite that has been inhabited since 2000. It discusses why astronauts appear to float, clarifying that gravity still affects them. The ISS orbits Earth at 400 km, experiencing 88% of Earth's surface gravity. The video uses Newton's laws to explain gravitational acceleration and describes how the ISS and its crew are in a state of continuous free fall, maintaining orbit by moving at a speed that matches Earth's curvature. This concept is likened to throwing a stone with enough force to keep it in orbit.

What happens to an object thrown with enough force to escape Earth's gravitational field?

How do astronauts experience free fall while aboard the International Space Station?
