Explore YouTube Depths With This Site
Have you ever reached the point where you felt like you’ve already read, watched and / or listened to everything on the Internet? Are your popular sites not working anymore? Do you want to see what else is there, but not carefully selected? If so, then you should head over to Astronaut.io .

As Recommendo points out, many of the videos are not in English and the entire experience is addictive.
According to his home page , the concept for the site is that you are an astronaut floating 100 miles above the surface of the Earth: “You look out the window, and this is what you see. You are watching people. These are fleeting moments. ” All videos featured on Astronaut will be uploaded within a week of your visit and will be “unnamed, unedited and invisible (by no one but you)”.
We tested it and we were treated to everything from a martial arts demonstration to a young woman playing the violin to a school principal somewhere in the United States leading his students to the Pledge of Allegiance in a room where the Norwegian flag is inexplicably hoisted. hanging next to its American counterpart. Since most of us won’t go anywhere for a while, this is definitely a surreal way to see the world more while adhering to the principles of social distancing.
