To be honest the thread title is a little misleading.

You'd think the video would be on some Astronaut's Wife shyt. It's more about how Astronaut's after looking down at the beauty of Earth realize we're all part of one living organism and we all need to be moving in the same direction in preserving the world.

Looking down at Earth is described as a spiritual experience. I'm not even sure I could handle the experience psychologically. It would certainly be a life altering experience but for some minds it might not be a change for the better.

:yawn:

People are always on some "we are the world" when their minds are blown by the bigger picture of nature and the fact that life is not about the things we covet/kill for/stab each other in the back for here on Earth.

I guess it's good they realize it......but I realize it every time I give a homeless person money at a stop light. Or I see the starving children in Africa who would like to have nothing more than even the amount of water we use to flush down the toilet.

Would you rather spend a million dollars wastefully on yourself, or give it to a group of starving kids who will possibly die without it?

It doesnt take me going to space and looking back at the Earth to answer that question.

well thats good for you. you got it. they didnt. everyone is different. some of us were born with more of a selfish mentality then others. some of us grew into more of a selfish mentality then others. as long as these people get it. does it matter HOW they got it? NO.

i agree looking at the earth from outer space is probably an experience like no other and makes people realize how trivial some of our issues are.

at the same time...

it shouldn't take a trip to space to realize that. most these cats never experience the difference between the haves and have-nots. these same astronauts get back to earth and cross the street or lock their car doors when they see a brown person coming.

sure it would be great to look at the "bigger picture". that's not how the world actually functions though. i think we got to start on a smaller scale than the awe of seeing earth from space.
