The interval between the start and the end of “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” is 3 minutes and 30 seconds, and the International Space Station is moving is 7.66 km/s.

This means that if an astronaut on the ISS listens to “I’m Gonna Be”, in the time between the first beat of the song and the final lines …

… they will have traveled just about exactly 1,000 miles.

—What If: Orbital Speed

To be alive, now, in this age.

DADA DA

but they’re not WALKING 1000 miles haha stupid astronaut idiots

Actuakkym if they listen to it while walking, they would have techinically walked for 1000 miles
