STS/ISS those were the days. I miss those 2 systems working together.
Amazing imagery. Philosophical question: Is an untethered astronaut an "artificial" satellite or a "natural" satellite? An astronaut is not "artificial".
You basically only see his suit though, an untethered spacesuit is basically a tiny, limited spacecraft, so unless Gemini is a natural satellite because it has two humans in it...

Artificial satellite.
Remember; the spacesuit is just a human-shaped one-person crewed spacecraft.
We don't refer to other crewed spacecraft, such as Crew Dragon, Soyuz or Orion, as "natural" satellites.

That's like saying the ISS is not artificial because it contains humans. Natural means not manmade (whether it contains a human or not). Only our moon is natural.
