Down to Earth: The Astronaut's Perspective

Ever wonder what it’s like to see our planet from space? This change in perspective that astronauts experience is called the "Overview Effect." The phenomenon of seeing Earth from outer space and how life changing this can be is discussed by NASA’s astronauts who will take you on a journey to the International Space Station. They recount their experiences from launch to weightlessness, their views of diverse landscapes from an orbital perspective, weather patterns on the earth below them, and their realization that Earth - though huge and complex – is also fragile and needs our care. All of the astronauts were changed by their experience in ways that can teach us to allow our own perspectives on earth to be expanded. Prepare for a unique perspective on our planet and the cosmos as you view Earth as you’ve never seen it before - through the eyes of an astronaut.

Absolutely everything inspired me especially the line about take everyone on earth into space for 30 seconds and the world would change (paraphrased). I loved it. Inspiring Plus!
