What are they REALLY doing up there?

Taking note of hurricanes and advising people on the ground on them.

Oh and performing science experiments in space.

Are you sure that's all they're doing?

jackin off and watching their space splooge fly in the air

>>139153990
There's literally no-one up there doing anything. The interior footage is filmed in those 0G planes that makes you weightless for a brief time, and the exterior is filmed underwater in large tanks.

NASA is the world's most expensive movie studio.

Nah, but I've seen enough first hand evidence to understand what the space station is.

Either way that station isnt/hasnt been doing any harm.

I can watch the ISS fly across the sku if i wanted to.... jesus dont go THAT deep

It's mainly a lab for putting a bunch of things in and seeing how microgravity affects them. It also does a couple of ulterior tasks like getting pretty pictures of earth and serving as a testbed for fancy space technologies.

microgravity experiments. you can isolate a lot of physical processes really well in microgravity, think about the production of crystals or other very small things like that, taking gravity out of the equation makes things a lot easier to document.

knowing how blood clots without gravity is a good thing. same with the folding of proteins and so on.

they also maintain NASA's LEO capability. having 5 people up there is a great motivator.

some crazy ass weapons anon, what do you think?

>>139153990
Weapons testing, probably communicating with aliens, likely setting up outposts using unexpected methods. (Generation ships with clones, etc.)
