Incredibly mesmerizing photography. Thanks so much for sharing, Don!
I know this isn’t an AMA of any sort, but I feel like this may be my opportunity to directly ask an individual who’s been to space -
Edgar Mitchell famously depicted his visit to the moon as an instant acquisition of global consciousness, stating that international politics become a petty thought. Do you also feel the same, or anything to a similar degree, when able to view our home from such a high vantage point? What’s it like to view Earth so far removed from it in a position where relatively few have been before?
