Is An Astronaut Faster Than An Air Rifle?

The video explores whether an astronaut or an air rifle is faster. It begins with an introduction and question, followed by an explanation of air rifle mechanics and history. The video then demonstrates how to measure the speed of a pellet using a simple experiment. The pellet's speed is compared to the speed of the International Space Station (ISS), highlighting the ISS's significantly higher speed. A visual demonstration shows the difference in speeds, and the video concludes by discussing the fastest man-made objects, such as a NASA satellite. Ultimately, the video reveals that astronauts aboard the ISS travel much faster than a pellet from an air rifle.
