The Overview Effect: Seeing Earth with the Whole Universe in the Background

[@audreymuzingo933]

Soooo classy to have this amazing group as guests. There's so much more to life than celebrities and politicians!

[@classical7]

Awesome interview with these amazing human beings indeed!

[@federalreservewolflegend3523]

These are paid actors being interviewed by a celebrity paid actor, lol. Look kids, its not hard to send up the proper lens or adjust aperture on a camera....YET. 70 YEARS IN AND NO PICTURES OF STARS FROM A SPACECRAFT OR THE ISS. Total malarky!!! They can't snap a shot and let us triangulate where they are from the stars around them. Thats why they do not TAKE any star pics with a real time camera. They will be busted.

[@federalreservewolflegend3523]

​@Distant Echoes Ya, but all that genius, and they can't snap a picture of stars for us on Earth. Or snap one of Earth. (ALL Earth shots are CGI composites that look almost identical. And wrong in all the same places.)

Your comment brings back the memory of CW McCall, "There is more to country music than Lone Star Beer and the cheat'n side of life..."

[@scottcampbell96]

This was unexpectedly emotional. I can only imagine how people felt in the 60s when it was about to happen for the first time. These astronauts are inspiring.

[@jimhammill3584]

Trust me. Same feeling. Our country was in turmoil back then, too, and those missions reminded us of who we really are and what we could accomplish together. I'm feeling the same way all over again and loving it.

[@abdulsadiq]

"no religious line or political boundaries" ... in today's world, that hit me hard

[@rhondah1587]

I was 16 when we first went to the moon and it was totally awesome. I remember it well and looking up at the moon at night knowing people were standing on it. I'm now 70 and still excited about this mission. When she made those comments about looking down on the Earth, I am reminded of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. It brings home just how dependent we all are on each other on our mote of cosmic dust, just a tiny pale blue dot seen from Saturn and how silly we are to fight each other over political and religious power grabs.

[@WakandaBabe]

I remember the 1st moon trip very well. We live with such technology every day that's it's hard to describe the awe it inspired back then.

[@ejourneys]

As thrilling as the landing was in '69, I may have been even more excited during Apollo 8, when Borman and crew circled the Moon and returned. They had been the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit. I feel that same thrill now with Artemis II.

Carl Sagan has said this. And as well you don't need to go to space to feel this effect. It can happen at anytime. Your perspective is from your surroundings. Once you get out of your comfort zone you to can expierience this or just drop a Ton of shrooms and you will really get it.

Extraordinary brave individuals who have the opportunity of a lifetime. Very inspiring. And Stephen showcases it all so well.

[@murasaki848]

Excellent crew. As an American who is a bit of a space nerd, I'd say it's only fitting a Canadian is going. Canada has been instrumental in providing technologies for the Shuttle and the ISS, like the various incarnations of the "Canadarm", the robotic arm for the Space Shuttle. He's also not the first Canadian to ride a U.S. vehicle. That title goes to Joseph Jean-Pierre Marc Garneau, who flew on the shuttle Challenger in 1984. Christina Koch's remarks echo Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" quote, published after Voyager took a picture of Earth from near Saturn. Most people quote the first paragraph, but I think the last fits here as follow up to what she said: "It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

[@faisalbantog4704]

[@TheBioExplorer]

I was a child glued to the TV watching Apollo. As a girl (my dad was Air Force), I didn't see any female jet pilots... but on Star Trek and then for real on the first Space Station I saw there was a future for scientists in Space & I loved Biology so I studied that thinking one day I might go! Then, during my studies at the University of SC (GO Gamecocks), I was in the student center watching Challenger lift off with not only a scientist from SC but a female teacher... but then we know what happened. 😢 Everything was shut down & there was no chance. I went to work in labs and eventually teaching where I ended up as a science curriculum specialist in the very building where Dr. Ron McNair went to high school. It was now a middle school, and we had a celebration each year where his family and NASA astronauts and officials would visit. It was wonderful. The pandemic stopped all that but I hope we can begin again before I retire. I wish timing had been different so I could be on this mission or better yet eventually one to Mars! ❤🖖

[@eatingketchupchips9567]

You don't know how many young girls and boys that you were their Apollo- the light switch that made them love science, and go onto to do great things for their communtities or society! Women teaching STEM, being in a place of authority over the subject, is what shows both genders that women belong in STEM - you've opened doors in brains you may not be aware of, so please don't wonder what you could have been - teaching is so invaluable. I'm sorry the country doesn't see it that way.

[@TheBioExplorer]

@eatingketchupchips Thank you. Yes, I believe I ended up where I was needed. I've taught about 4k students everything from AP Bio, AP Env Science, Anatomy, & more. I've taught long enough to see some become dentists, nurses, PAs, pharmacists, teachers, vet techs@!+ etc... even a nuclear physicist... and we keep in touch. I also mentored many other teachers... so it ripples out. Not bad for a small rural town where, once Dr. Ronald E. McNair fell in love with science; watched Star Trek; and went off to college to study physics...

[@Tina-qp7py]

[@haineko1989]

Thank you for all your hard work for girls, women, and all the mankind in consequence. I am not from the US but a female software supporter, and while I am still in my 30s I also have been influenced mostly by scifi media etc - because due to the Iron Curtain we've been very held back in some European countries. I had some good teachers though, especially the female IT teacher in high school, who showed me tech isn't as scary for girls in real life as my dad made it sound. I know he was just trying to protect me from the backwards society, but his little girl is stronger than that and she enjoys her job thanks mostly to her female teachers and the scifi media coming mainly from the US 😊 Wish I had more such teachers or one very influential so that I didn't waiver so much and accomplished more academically, but then again, I get to pass it forward to the next generations and help them do even better... And while I have some regrets, I also know it matters what I do, like how I help my younger colleagues when I didn't have an older IT female colleague to guide me (I was the first female IT employee in 15 years since the company started....) and it gives me a great feeling, which is definitely different that the awe of looking at the Earth from space, but still something I didn't know I would be feeling.

President Kennedy, Sept. 20, 1963, at the UN General Assembly: "Why, therefore, should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure? Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries--indeed of all the world--cannot work together in the conquest of space, sending someday in this decade to the moon not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of our countries."
