Reentry Memes

Gravity has entered the chat! 🌍 This person clearly skipped the "how space works" lesson! The International Space Station orbits Earth at 17,500 mph in the vacuum of space, 250 miles up. Just "jumping out" would still leave you in orbit—not falling straight down—and without a specialized suit and re-entry vehicle, you'd either suffocate, freeze, or burn up in the atmosphere. That Red Bull stunt? Felix Baumgartner jumped from a balloon at 24 miles up—10 times closer to Earth—with years of training and specialized equipment. It's like comparing jumping off your couch to leaping from the Burj Khalifa while on fire!
