Doesn't matter as far as surface velocity goes. ISS orbits roughly West to east, so if you want velocity relative to Earth's center it will be slightly higher, not lower.

Thats a retarded answer.

No, it's not. Ground relative velocity is a thing. The moon's orbital motion is negligible over the fraction of a second it took ISS to cross.
 Quoting: Astromut

You say it's 'negligible' because you are using NASA numbers buddy, HA!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26810388


I don't need to use NASA's numbers you fucking retard. My telescope tracks the stars, I can see how slowly the moon moves and how negligible its motion is over half a second.
