Astronauts who have looked down at planet Earth from the stillness of space often describe the moment as a life-changing experience.
, recounts the sentiments from one of the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission:"When we originally went to the moon, our total focus was on the moon. We weren't thinking about looking back at the Earth. But now that we've done it, that may well have been the most important reason we went."
"It was quite a shock; I don't think any of us had any expectations about how it would give us such a different perspective. I think the focus had been: we're going to the stars, we're going to other planets," author and philosopher David Loy said in the Planetary Collective video."And suddenly we look back at ourselves and it seems to imply a new kind of self-awareness.
In spite of the overwhelming beauty of this scene, serious inequity exists on the apparent paradise we have been given. I couldn't help thinking of the nearly one billion people who don't have clean water to drink, the countless number who go to bed hungry every night, the social injustice, conflicts, and poverty that remain pervasive across the planet.
