Just take this image in for a second. This is powerful even as an image, imagine how powerful it was for the Apollo 11 astronauts. I can't even put into words how this makes me feel. It's amazing.

The sensation of standing on another world must've been incredible.

Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

"Earthrise" is still one of the most awe inspiring (and aptly titled) photographs ever.

Awe. That's what we feel, seeing this.

And it shakes me to my core, and challenges my very being.

What keeps getting me is the size and distance. The moon isn't small (compared to earth it is though), but the distance isn't is from earth. It appears small. Like If you see someone in the distance.

Then take the stars. Our Galaxy isn't big in comparison to some others, and those stars each have a galaxy that looks insignificant to us. That's a massive distance!

here's one from the alien on Mars. What blew my mind with the moon is that it doesn't glow (like a star) and that is reflecting light. The same goes for the planets and how damn huge they are for us to be able to see them so far away

Now I feel bad about those who will go to Mars and will never come back. It's because, after some time, they're gonna expand to 4 colonies there, and they're gonna hear back news and stuff from this planet, and they're gonna put the phone down, so to speak, and shake their heads. And, no, not a zombie apocalypse. It's closer to home.
