No, parachuting from the International Space Station (ISS) is not feasible due to the station's altitude of approximately 400 kilometers (about 248 miles) above Earth. At this height, there is insufficient atmosphere for parachutes to deploy effectively, as they rely on air resistance to slow descent. Additionally, the extreme speed of the ISS, orbiting at around 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour), would make a parachute descent impossible and dangerous. Astronauts typically return to Earth via specially designed spacecraft that can safely re-enter the atmosphere.
