Overview

Absolutely stunning. I'm fairly certain that if everyone got to go to space and see our planet from above, there wouldn't be any war, and the environment would be far, far better off. Invest 20 minutes in this. 

"The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts’ perspective of the planet and mankind’s place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment."

Reminds me a lot of Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his most astounding fact. Just awesome. Nothing else. 

Thanks to Chris.
