The International Space Station (ISS), the backbone of humanity in space exploration, has been the subject of many of our content before, but such a topic had never occurred to us.
A YouTuber used Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to answer the question of what the International Space Station would look like if it flew close to Earth.
If the International Space Station were flying at low altitude:
Using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, YouTuber brought the International Space Station, which is normally 420 kilometers away from our Earth, within 3 kilometers. At a distance of 420 kilometers, the International Space Station is floating at a speed of 24,600 kilometers per hour.
When you bring it within 3 kilometers, as you can see in the video, it becomes like Speedy Gonzales. According to the calculations of the YouTuber who shared the video, at this speed and at this height, the International Space Station can tour the Earth in just 90 minutes.
