You stay on Earth. Your digital self goes to space. Create your digital astronaut, join a crew, follow a simulated mission. Coming soon.

What is Orbit Me? 🚀 Your digital astronaut flies first, then you train like one: fitness, water survival, g-forces, orbital mechanics. Patches, ranks, a crew. AI-generated · simulated · not affiliated with any space agency Start today: orbitme.space

A wedding above the clouds?! 💍 Their digital selves said "I do" high above the Earth while the two of them watched from a café below. No couple has ever married with both partners in orbit. Yet. AI-generated · simulated · symbolic ceremony #space #wedding

Spend a few days in orbit and your body changes in ways you'd never notice on Earth 🧵

You get a little taller. Nothing presses down on your spine anymore, so it stretches out. After landing, you shrink back.

Astronauts don't lie down to sleep. They hang on a wall. Here's how a night in orbit actually works 🧵

The bedroom is about the size of a phone booth. Inside, a sleeping bag is strapped to the wall, so you don't drift off and bump into equipment while you're out (NASA, ESA).

Astronauts grow taller in space?! 📏 No gravity pressing down, so the spine stretches out. In orbit you get a little taller. After landing, you shrink back. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

No washing machine in space?! Water is too precious on the station to waste on laundry. So astronauts wear clothes until they really smell, then pack them into the trash that burns up on re-entry. Then: a fresh shirt. AI-generated, simulated

Her arms float up in her sleep?! In zero gravity, relaxed arms drift up on their own. Astronauts sleep in a bag strapped to the wall, with a fan on so their own CO2 doesn't pool around their face. AI-generated, simulated

Has anyone ever got married in space? Sort of. Once. 💍🧵

In 2003 a cosmonaut on the ISS married his bride by video link. He was in orbit. She was on Earth, in Houston. (Guinness World Records, Christian Science Monitor)

Three everyday things that just don't work in orbit. A shower, laundry, a haircut. Here's what astronauts do instead 🧵

A shower. There isn't one on the ISS. Water sticks to you instead of falling. So it's a wet towel and shampoo you never rinse. Skylab had a real shower in the 1970s. One wash took over two hours.

A space haircut needs a vacuum?! ✂️ Without gravity, cut hair would float all over the station. So the clippers come with a vacuum hose attached. And crewmates cut each other's hair. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

Can you fart in space?! 💨 Yes. And fans push the smell around the whole station. A 1960s test of a Gemini space diet: far more gas. A real fire risk? Probably overstated. But the air gets filtered nonstop. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

Your digital astronaut starts with one photo. Here's how to get a good one 📸🧵

Face to the camera. Good light. That's most of it. A fresh selfie works, or any clear photo of your face you already have. JPG, PNG, WebP or an iPhone photo, up to 10 MB.

What if you vomit in a helmet?! 🤢 No hands. No bag. Nothing falls away from your face. If you breathe it in, you could suffocate. So spacewalks usually aren't scheduled for your first days. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

People ask if our "how astronauts live in space" shorts are real. The facts are. The footage isn't. Here's how we make them 🧵

Real: the questions and the answers. Why bread stays off the station: crumbs float. Why tears don't fall: no gravity. Why nobody does laundry up there: too much water. We research each one before a video gets made.

Astronauts never wash their clothes?! 👕 On the space station, no. It would take too much water. A shirt is worn until it's too dirty, then it goes in the trash and burns up in the atmosphere. AI-generated · simulated

Astronauts never wash their clothes?! 👕 On the space station, no. It would take too much water. You wear a shirt until it's too dirty, then it goes in the trash and burns up. About 150 pounds of clothes per astronaut, per year! (AP) AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

Why can't you cry in space? 😢 You can cry. Tears can't fall. No gravity = a ball of water on your eye. It stings. Grab a tissue. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS

Why is bread banned in space?! 🌮 Crumbs float into vents and eyes. So: tortillas. Salt is dissolved in water. Pepper is suspended in oil. Everything on the table has Velcro. AI-generated · simulated #space #ISS
