The biggest flex

Well earned.
Facts 😂😂

"So, I set up my sleeping bag on the ceiling so I can sleep up there like I was a bat. I thought that was kinda cool"
Of course he did that.
The ceiling can be the floor. Up, down, sideways, diagonally, its all the same in space XD
When he said that (before he added the reason) I instantly thought "of course you'd want to sleep on the ceiling".
It seems like such a cool thing to do. I wonder if they squabbled like you'd do on a school trip.
"But I wanted to sleep on the ceiling!"
I would love to meet him and just hear him talk and keep saying something is different
I wonder if he ever woke up like a vampire does just rising up with his arms on his chest
@@AsianAnonymous7 yess, it's pretty cool huh.
"hey Mike. Soo before we start, we need to film you for a couple minutes. It's real simple. Just sit still while we film you at 9 different angles. Do your best not to react. Oh yea, were gonna be dimming the lights about 24 different times."
Yeah what’s up with that?
@@snaveevans8784 it's supposed to reflect the other side of the spectrum...on Earth *light changes* in space.
Also please keep repeating "in space it's different"
Dude this is exactly what goes through my mind when I think of how people filmed stuff 😂
No one cares
Girlfriend: Why do you sleep with a stuffed animal still?
Me: Mission comes first, it’s an essential item.
"Housten, we have a problem. I forgot my teddy."

“I don’t usually do that when i am on earth”
What a profound statement that only a few people get to make.
voifont but physically you remain on earth in all those cases
Yeah not when you’re on acid
LIE LIE LIE iss is impossible and not there you cant fall around a flat plane and a vaccum can't exist next to an atmosphere or plane#?*
Can they prove with real time experiment that they are going to iss 100% no no no won't even attempt to wear a go pro with no interupt live ,would shut me up if not edited, won't ever happen because no one ever gets on those big bottle rockets period
pretty much everyone can make that statement, if you never do something you could say i dont usually do that when im on earth
“Sleep is very important for your health”
Me watching at 4am: .-.

OMG he just said it and I read it at the same time!!!!!!

“In space, it’s different” *light changing intensifies*
"you get 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets in a 24 hour period" wow, that would be an AMAZING thing to be able to witness..
It's like Minecraft.
@@juliusroman8616 u are a genius pls be an astronaut (not sarcasm fr)
Take that flat earthers
@@terryhuffaker3615 I was gonna say that.
sunrises and sunsets in space aren't colorful and beautiful because you are not in the atmosphere so you don't see those colors
For someone who works and walked 4 times in space he seems down to earth
he seems*
i think its because he's literally been up in space that he realized he wants to be down to earth
Nice pun.
🥁
HaHa, I see what you did there
I love how casual he says “If you are ever in space” like it’s something that you could just randomly find yourself doing.
i mean you could find yourself in space
We dont know the future
We will by 2030
If u got the bank to do it
They're liars!!!
NASA:“Why do you want to become an astronaut?” Him:”I wanna sleep on the ceiling like a bat.” NASA :”okay you are hired”

biggest flex ever is when you can casually say “Whenever i’m on earth, I...”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL
For some reason I feel like if he wasn’t an astronaut he would be a mob boss.
He gives of that feel
yes
A calm mob boss
I feel like he would be Batman with his side kick snoopy 😆❤️
He looks like thet italian mob guy in the simpsons
The best thing about space it that you can casually say: "When I'm on earth... "

Awkwardly Cast sir quit smoking
Awkwardly Cast lmao bro u need to chill on the drugs
It really made me emotional when he said that he dreams about going back into space and going on one more space walk. I can't imagine how it must feel to have done all of that and then spend the rest of your life grounded on earth.
sanaslikey cause it’s like BRO I JUST WENT TO SPACE. why tf would I want to limit my life by being on earth I would want to explore more.
jamison cobb I mean my mans just going to a space station and back he not goin farther then that.
Well it made me sad when I remember that most of us has never went to space. I can't imaging how fun it would be to hop around in microgravity
sanaslikey you got emotional over that Jesus toughen up darling
The space walks are filmed in a pool google "bubbles in space"
*Literally walks around space*
“ walking around space made me feel like I was a real space man”
“You see this gigantic ball”
He destroyed Flat Earthers careers in the first minute. 🕯
@One Love why would he lie?
@One Love he was there, don't think he's lying

And we are all in that gigantic ball. Amazing!
Cats would have knocked every thing off the planet by now if it was flat.
"You see this giant ball"
Flat-earthers, take notes.
Gypsy Queen riightttt? They literally went around earth all day every day. A big constant circle. Flat earthers are morons man lol
Flat earthers believe that everything we have done in space is fake. There is a documentry on netflix interviewing a bunch of them and at the end they try to prove they are right and...they arent. And then it ends.

3:59 “So I would set my sleeping bag up on the ceiling so I could sleep up there like I was a bat. I thought that was kind of cool.” I love this guy so much. Just goes to show that you can be an adult with an insanely serious job, and still have childlike fun.

The fact that he brought a teddy bear is so cute.
It was snoopy
@ThatCrazy Drunk Not a Teddy Bear. A Teddy Bear is a stuffed toy that looks like a bear. The Snoopy is a stuffed toy that looks like Snoopy. Nuf said. Repeat: Not a Teddy Bear.
What else would he bring?
He must've brought it to look cute
He got it because it was essential to the mission. An astronaut with no teddy bear can jeopardize the mission and the crew. We don't want that.
Mr. Massimino is an amazing person. He spoke at my school last year- I’ll never forget it. Wish I could’ve worked up the courage to ask him a question.
me: thinks they sleep in their astronaut gear
him: "I prefer my Snoopy pajamas"
me: :O
That's so cute lol
I can imagine how heavy you’d feel coming to Earth after being in space for 6 months.
I'm pretty sure it'd be like doubling your weight. Weightlessness for extended time then having to get used to the full weight again. It'd suck.
Check the doc series on Netflix A Year in Space
Hey girl
The astronaut who held the record for the longest time in space had to lean on other people for support when he got back to Earth. He was basically crippled for a few weeks until he had built up a bit of muscle.

Crimsonfireball Do You believe that people exist in the opposite direction as you directly below you, nearly 8,000 miles on the “other side of the world.” It’s a simple yes or no answer, and if it sounds crazy to you it’s because YOU HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE.🥂

But to be a little nicer, I respect that some people can't really comprehend the actual massive size of the globe and how that makes the ground look flat to us tiny humans (compared to the earth).

Shut uppppppppppp
Could also be a solid calm opening to a scifi horror movie
Cus you need a life lol
Love to watch NASA astronaut Mike Massimino.
Get this guy and Chris Hadfield on crew dragon.
Who else is watching this in space rn
Im high enough it may as well be space ...
It’s always fun to hear about how you humans feel in space

So glad they have someone to pack their personal items. I would be like omg, I forgot my comfy house shoes and my contact lenses solution. 😄
“And that’s pretty much it”
He said with 10 minutes left of the video
Right?? I checked how much was left thinking “that was fast”.

I object to the expression “former astronaut”. I think once you’re an astronaut, you’re _always_ an astronaut. ❤️ Mike 👨🚀
I'm not the only one tearing up when he talks about his dream, am I?
I mean, imagine how proud it is, to be chosen as an astronaut? That's like... half the world's dream!
it's kind of bittersweet that he was able to go to space but now he knows what it's like but never be able to experience it again.
Bruh he went to ISS that isn’t really going to space LOL. That’s low earth orbit bud
@@Windbend3r That is literally space lol. He went outside of Earth, you can’t discount that just because he didn’t go to a planet.

I know right! Probably be the best decompression for my scoliosis ever.
I was literally thinking about that, beds and pillows sometimes make me have a lot of back pain, can’t imagine how better it would be to sleep in midair
@@maddiemercier3815 i think this would help him actually, because this things that connect each bone in spine would de-compress and heal, when he would come back, he would experience regular backpain most astronauts get, but after that it would probably help, except if his spine is not straight, then it wouldnt change much

Time Bandit look into inversion tables, you can get some for under a 100 bucks, and can get a really nice for around 150-200. Definitely so well worth it!
Imagine spending most of your life preparing to become an astronaut, being one for 18 years, and then only going to space twice.
You can’t stay there long nobody expects to become an astronaut and just live on the ISS
That's still 2 times more than 99.9% of everybody else, so it balances out.

"Snoring is something I do on Earth"
There's something about the way he says it that makes the thought of space bloody magical
I’d have asked if astronauts dreams in space are zero gravity dreams or do they dream in gravity, like we will sometimes have the occasional dream of falling/weightlessness but mostly dream with the dreams being under gravity. Is it reversed for astronauts?
