Seeing Earth from Space: The Overview Effect

[Lily]

I wonder if there's a Virtual reality way of experiencing this, it would be an interesting experiment.

"The overview effect is a cognitive and emotional shift in a person's awareness, their consciousness and their identity when they see the Earth from space," White told NPR. "They're at a distance and they're seeing the Earth ... in the context of the universe."

Recently seeing the new images from James Webb, reminded me again that out of the quintillions of galaxies out there, The one True God chose our little planet and our species of primate to give "Intelligence" to. We are so Lucky!

Yep, because Earth is fragile and we humans not only lay waste to it, we lay waste to one another.

You think we have the technology to listen to anything anywhere how ever far away it is? We have no idea what a different life form in someway similarly sentient as us, would know or have.

We don't know that, it is possible there could be life forms based on an entirely different structure, we're carbon based, what if the others are say Silicon based? We might not even be able to recognize them as a comparable life form.

Before Leif Erickson, or Magellan and Columbus, a prevailing thought was the edge of the earth was empty space way out there over the horizon, and you could fall off if you got too close to the edge.
