Except up there, they're not about staying cool. Here's what she had to say: "Considering the ongoing heatwave across Europe, many of you are probably getting used to the sound of fans at home. In microgravity, fans aren't just about comfort – they're essential. Find out why in this video!" Because aboard the Space Station, air doesn't move on its own, and without a fan pushing it along, the air an astronaut breathes out could just build up around their face while they sleep. So next time your fan's working overtime at home, remember: down here it's comfort, up there it's survival. 📹 ESA/NASA #ESA #Astronaut #ISS Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:11:37 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://xcdr.tv https://xcdr.tv/lazy-static/avatars/d7ff3488-9036-438f-95d1-547afee4fcf4.png https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/9ec2d541-525a-4ed4-8a9e-cb7e42674225 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://xcdr.tv/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
