That rocks... I wonder who was leading, earth or the ISS? With a few light-seconds minimum one would have to take lead.

Hunh? The ISS orbits at an altitude of 420km. A light second is 300,000km.
Any delay would be comparable to when I speak to my parents on the phone.

Unless they use Skype between the ISS and Earth....

My wife and I could make a Quartet in the living room without any guests, we actually discovered that today...

But cool to hear them boys together!

and over the 5:26 of the song the ISS would have traveled about 2500km perpendicular to the earth so if the path crossed straight over head and the middle of the song was perfectly center the distance would vary between 1306km downto 420km then back up to 1306km giving 0.0043s -> 0.0014 -> 0.0043s. Your right, that wouldn't be all that much.

Anyone else ever plotted this type of thing out... man they're orbiting at a super-low altitude when you look at the scale against the size of the earth... wow... Inline image 1

They don't call it "Low Earth Orbit" for nothin'

The gravity well can't hold Timmy anymore...
