Some Strange Things Are Happening To Astronauts Returning To Earth

This is an extremely interesting clip, make of it what you will.

Who would have thought traveling to outer space could be such a profound
experience? OK, probably everybody, but these former astronauts really
articulate it in a way that was just a little mind-blowing.

    • @Warg Rider wasn't that in the bible? wasn't that what christian church burned ppl alive for? like Giordano Bruno?

    • @Peter Gibbons No, no, and no it wasn't, you fucking dumbass. Greeks believed in spherical earth in at least 600 BC, then proved it mathematically 300 years later. The organized Christian church(es) never believed the earth was flat. Bruno was burned for disbelieving in fundamental Christian doctrines and being into things like magic and divinations. Feel smart now?

      Actually the Quran hints at an egg shaped Earth.

      Maybe you should stop trolling anti-Muslim websites and buy yourself a Quran.

  • The irony of having to leave the earth in order to fully appreciate it is very much a human condition.

    • @BrorGertrud You'r not the only swede having that dream. Let's build a spaceship together. Just need to get some billions to finance it. You seem like the kind of guy who would be able to manage it. ;)

  • well once you come face to face with the reality of how mind blowingly big the universe is and how minor you are I am not surprised it causes many to review their version of reality.

    • @Penguinister exactly!! we are insignificant.

    • @eessup You don't speak for me. I for one am not insignificant.

      I quote David Loy, the philosopher (corrupt one) featured in this clip
      "We can LEARN to forget ourselves" and bingo, it looks like you forgot who you are straight away!

    • @eessup true, but once you understand that the real challenge is to overcome that and make your mark on the future. It's a bit like facing the reality we are all born as nothing special then turning around and facing the Universe and screaming, you will remember me and dammed if I will let reality make me insignificant.

  • And what people on earth are actually busy worrying about? .....working long hours every day for money that doesn't hold any real worth so they can finally buy that stupid car or new shoes we so disparately put idealistic value on like it really matters in the end. Another 100 years and those items and you have vanished. Without memory or meaning to anyone. Keep slaving away for self created mini rewards. Funny how people are so focused on products,glamour, reality tv shows and movies that they More..

  • The beauty of our Earth and the life that exists on it is truly unimaginable. It's a shame it's taken for granted so often =/

  • I bet that if every human being could experience what this men/women have then the earth would be a rather different place to live in.

  • I enjoyed every bit of this. I couldn't agree more that the day will come where this fighting amongst ourselves as humans was futile and our real attention should of been directed at the survival of our species and planet as a whole.

  • I hope someday it'll be common for schoolchildren to go to space for a few hours and see how small our planet is and how petty our reasons for fighting really are in perspective.

  • GREAT video, until the half way point when it shifted into environmentalist propaganda BS.

      You are an example of why we are likely doomed. Ignorance is a terrible disease.

    • @Fuck All Of You

      Ever stop to think that this propaganda, which the entire rational world agrees on, is in fact the truth? Like, actually, have you ever entertained that thought?

    • @johnwad And exactly why? Because I understand science and know the earth's continuously changing climate is NATURAL? Climate change is real, the propaganda is trying to make people think we can actually DO something about it.

      The Earth's climate has been continuously changing for 4.5billion years, 4.49999 billion of those years without humans being any factor. The planet has cycled through many ice and warm ages long before humans existed, we are not the cause of climate change nor can we do More..

  • That's how they discovered the atmospheric phenomenon called blue jets and red sprites, from orbit.
    I'd love to go to space, but I'd have to eat half a bottle of gravol to make it through the centrifuge ride without barfing all over the cockpit.

    Great upload, voted.
