Wouldn’t mind a history of usa meddling in central and South America in order to install puppet regimes.

[@KamalaChameleon]

That must've been quite terrifying.. you have to go to a deep mental zone just to keep pushing to survive

[@bcab7955]

It's tough to call it human error as there was a reasonable amount of troubleshooting and deductive reasoning made when the initial issue was identified during his prior space walk. This is a unique case, glad to hear that improvements and revisions were made from this experience.

[@moritzrank1249]

5:28 "Luca tried yelling as loud as he could to send a message to KAREN" got me dying

[@pbsuite]

No way she liked this 😂😂

[@Lana-Lives]

Why is no one asking where the water was coming from? If they’re really in space that is…

[@poggyfroggy4156]

did you see the video?

[@lanzer22]

I don't know why KZbin doesn't like to suggest new videos from NewsThink, had to go search for this.

[@Newsthink]

Appreciate you searching to make sure you didn't miss it!

[@DVnc_]

9:25 kids... don't smoke🫵

[@IanZainea1990]

7:19 NO!!!! NOT HUMAN!!!!! ANYTHING BUT HUUUUMAN! lol, the melodrama there.

[@gsilcoful]

Thanks!

[@Newsthink]

Thanks for your support! It means so much to me.

[@tinydough8746]

Thought this was going to be something straight out of the K-drama "The Silent Sea"

[@kasession]

Even though I had heard about this, and knew he survived, my heart rate went up as I was watching this.

[@philippedrouin3008]

Another thing that should be learnt from that experience is that water buildup is a lot more serious. They don't say how much time passed between noticing the water and then 800ml and then water over eyes and ears. Cancel spacewalk if water builds up in helmet.

[@perpetualtech5906]

I had no idea this happened. I loved the video and enjoyed learning about this. Thank you for telling this story. I appreciate your work.

[@stephenbarrette610]

I was watching this live and it was really scary. Thank goodness it worked out ok and it just shows how extraordinary these astronauts are.

[@AY_11228]

Are you sure the Fum is safe? All naturals like the natural flavor in our food.

[@BT0WN]

Great channel. Well researched and presented.

[@reanimatedche]

Coz they're in a pool 😂😂🤣🤣

[@davidhepburn9328]

Funny how the ISS is replicated in a pool!!!Now we know why there are bubbles floating by fake astronauts.😍😍😍

[@erictaylor5462]

1:30 This would be something that I would say, "Lets abort the space walk, get back inside." At the very least, move into the airlock, seal the door and work the problem from there. If you can fix it, fine, open the door and continue. But if you are in the airlock with the door shut you can pressurize the airlock and get his helmet off quickly.

[@erictaylor5462]

It is amazing that we haven't lost anyone in the time the ISS has been in service. It speaks to the incredibly high standards for safety and care. All we need to do is maintain that standard. Easier said than done, that.

[@jaydee3505]

That’s what happens when you’re in a pool!!!

[@salkno1404]

😂😂 thats because they never went to the space, the international space station is located in deep in e pool. 😂😂😂😂

[@bge9747]

The thing that got to me was when NASA separated the two astronauts. From basic training to flight school you never leave your teammate ever. For that to be necessary you have to know stuff was serious.

[@valmine7507]

thats funny i read a book about an astronaut and he talked about that and then i have this recommendation

[@HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

Goddamnit 😮

[@johnrobertd748]

Almost drowned in space, or in a swimming pool

[@winstonmontgomery8211]

Come on people... we all know these astronauts are under water with a huge blue screen. Thats why his helmet was leaking water. Man you people just don't get it yet 😂 Jk

[@nicholashylton6857]

Nerves of steele! 😨

[@abdirahmaanmohamed1582]

I've never thought someone can drown in scape

[@winstonmontgomery8211]

Scape 😅

[@femijohn4176]

Get back inside the ISS immediately and remove the haunted suit.

[@RealMTBAddict]

Watch the video...

[@gmg1202]

Why couldn’t he just drink the water in his helmet?

[@capricornus57]

Watch the video

[@Mr2Shredded]

Yes, the suit was revised , but, the real question is where did the metillic tasting water come from (in space)?. Some water trapped from pre launch in the suit vs being drown in it is different. The Bible speaks about the firmament ( in the sky) dividing the waters.

[@FrankyPi]

From the water tank in the PLSS...

[@user-fm3pw4jk2x]

This is science don’t bring your magical sky fairy into it

[@RealMTBAddict]

I'll stay on Earth.

[@shishirdhakal7513]

Why don't he just drink the water?

[@mattbuller661]

Sssssssss

[@wooteckchuan705]

[@Antagon666]

Why not take the helmet off and pour the water out ? Smh

[@Kerbist]

i think your joking, but they are in space.. ya know, something that'll kill ya pretty quickly?

[@metalmocha5118]

This is what happens when you film in a massive pool. NASA is not what most think it is.

[@lindafoxwood78]

yes.

[@zagrosqazy3798]

Pool??

[@metalmocha5118]

@@zagrosqazy3798 Yes... a massive pool. It's the truth.

[@starwarsempirestrikesbacks182]

Link plz

[@winstonmontgomery8211]

They train in a massive pool

[@Charango123quena]

Good video but extremely disappointing your endorsement of a vaping device. Will not be following your channel or even liking it. Shame on you. !

[@Newsthink]

For of all, it’s not a vape. Second of all, feel free to exit and not come bad. We work hard on these videos and don’t need offensive comments like these.

[@fglatzel]

When astronauts go on space walks, they carry about 2 litres of water. Not enough to drown at all. Misleading headline!

[@capricornus57]

Not misleading. In zero-g the water behaves different: it sticks al over your face. In the video you can see Luca puts water on his had to show wat happened.

[@Gigabean]

If there is water in this helmet, put him in the ISS, it’s not that difficult. If something is not supposed to happen and it’s happening stop it

[@EdithTheGreat]

Tim Peak told this story at his show It was so cool but scary
