Not all of the cool videos of astronauts working in outer space are live. But Lifehacker knows which streams are fake and where they show the truth.

Video from space on the air was not appreciated only by the lazy. But not all of them are actually as cool as we think.

UNILAD and Viral USA are the pages on which live broadcasts from space appeared at the beginning of the week. While millions of open-mouthed users watched the astronauts, they noticed that the videos were far from new. These are records from the ISS archives.

The video from the UNILAD page, for example, shows the cosmonauts fixing the Olympic torch with the Sochi 2014 design.

This is not a live broadcast, we were deceived. The astronauts were working with the torch in November 2013.

Viral USA repeated the trick and launched last year's work as an American astronaut.

The deception was confirmed by a NASA spokesman in a letter to the resource:

NASA broadcasts live from external cameras of the ISS aimed at the ground. There was no activity outside the station, because the Orbital ATK Cygnus freighter docked at the station on Sunday, and the next major event - the return of the crew from the expedition - is only scheduled for Saturday.

At UNILAD the BBC that really kicked off the old footage to test the possibilities of live streaming from space on Facebook. The possibilities are great: the fake video has more than 19 million views. There are a lot of fakes on the Internet, but it's still a shame when they cheat on such a scale.

There are still real streams from orbit. Watch their International Space Station and enjoy the beauty and space.
