Thanks for sharing that amazing piece of film!
When you think that it was 1968 when they first circled the moon without actually landing there where have the pioneering days gone today?
Very significant is the realization of how thin our atmosphere is which from space made the atmosphere appear so fragile and our planet so beautiful.
How do you connect the experience of Astronauts to us atmosphere locked pilots?
One thing that has often touched me is seeing a beggar in the streets, people going through suffering either through sickness or loss all with their worries or fears.
As you climb away from a City like say London you see those peoples houses in detail, as you climb those houses become smaller till they loose their individuality and become one mass.
As you climb further even the city starts to shrink and itself becomes part of a bigger picture.
You can almost sometimes think that you could put your arm out of the aircraft and sweep a whole city away.
Then you realize that in that small mass there are millions of people all struggling with their own individual problems yet how in the large picture we are so insignificant our worries so small compared to the world as a whole.
Great and moving film
