How is that the Earth's orbit flashing by in seconds when the camera is the thing doing the orbit? It's rotation is flashing by in seconds, but not its orbit. The sun appears to be doing a tight circle in seconds but we know it's holding steady (relatively so) that is not the Earth. Jeeze, Louise, pleeeeease.
They meant to say watch the station's 92 minute orbit around Earth compressed into seconds.
See? That there is what you call bad headline writing. It confuses children. Think of the children.
Btw, is Einsteins relativity still a theory? Im asking because the man has been dead for a long while, the least we could do... Or retire the theory by renaming it.

In space the theory of relativity is not sound.

Why is it called a "vine"? I didn't find an explanation of that.
"Vine is a mobile app owned by Twitter that enables its users to create and post short looping video clips."
The answer is i don't know.
What kind of a cheapskate goes all the way to space and settles for obstructed seating?
HAL was right to try to jettison such "visionary" dead weight, who couldn't even spot the old antenna-failure trap a mile away.
"Vine" is derived from vignette ("little vine" to the Frenchies). So say some.
Lem: thanks, I missed that!
As my nephew says when driving up and down hills, "Wheee!"
