It is called the "Overview Effect." When astronauts look at Earth from space, they do not see countries, borders, or racial distinctions. What they see is simply a "fragile planet" floating in the vast silence of the universe.
Have you ever wondered if humanity might be losing its way? We fight and clash, destroying our own home, because we fail to see that we are all aboard the same "ship" journeying through the vastness of space.
Perhaps we do not need more new technologies... perhaps we simply need "distance" to realize that peace and the preservation of our planet are the single most important tasks for humanity. Just imagine... if we all looked at Earth from a distance, would we still be in conflict with one another?
