ISS conspiracy

[cricketfieldclarets]

I’m not one for conspiracies. But can someone please clarify something for me?

My understanding was you can’t hear or there isn’t sound in space.

However watching the ISS walk live (sad I know). One of the astronauts is on the outside of the station doing some work and you could hear his tools banging and moving as he does his work.

How is this possible? Or is it simply that the human ear wouldn’t be able to hear but a microphone can?

Certainly no one in space can hear you scream.

Sound doesn't just travel through air, it travels through solids too. So the sound of the tools is the soundwaves travelling through the materials being struck.

Same as bone conductivity, you could vibrate a tuning fork on your mastoid process and hear it even though the sound isn't going through your ear canal.

The dirty old b@stard all that way and he decides to knock one out.

Sound doersn't travel through a vacuum, put succinctly. With an air-filled space station, sound is the same as on earth. Banging on a tin can still makes a noise, it's just that the noise won't go through a vacuum; it will still go through your skull!

I was more sceptical about the bumble bee when it bounced off his visor.

It was on the outside.

Think to many people on here are taking drugs utc

It was on the outside.

If he was hammering, he must have been hammering on something, and that something was presumably attached to the space station.

When you were small did you ever play with 2 tin cans and a bit of string? The sound was carried down the string.

Hes far to young....he had a Mobile Phone. But I remember quite vividly two baked been cans.

It was on the outside.

The sound was on the inside

Yes. But believe it or not, not in space!

This is all in a TV studio, you do know this, don't you?
Space travel is complete nonsense.

It just can't be done, this is all CGI.
