I like seeing videos like this. Gives a great sense of not only how far we as a species have come, but reminds us that we are still small compared to the vastness of space.
My Xitter PTSD made me click on the comments looking for the flat earth trolls. Then bam, the first comment is you citing your source. You beautiful bastards.
I swear I'm not trying to troll - can anyone explain why we can see stars in this video, but typically can't see any stars in a lot of other video shots from the station? Was this just over exposed for light to actually come through? Filter applied?
I thought the exact same thing. This timeline has been so triggering that I can’t even take anything at its worth without my brain automatically wondering what the conspiratorial counter-arguments will be. 😫

I'm old enough to have lived in the pre Apolo era and seen the first person walk on the moon. But seeing this video makes it [Rocket flights] appear so insignificant now.
Utterly beautiful, and fascinating! Love this 🤩 At the risk of sounding very stupid, and please forgive my ignorance - is that ‘film’ around the earth the ozone layer? (Feel I can ask that comfortably on this lovely platform)
Thank you for asking - I thought it must be ozone layer too 🤔 but glad it’s not as man did that look like a thin little strip of atmosphere to take what we’re pumping into it 😬

Anything inside the Van Allen belts could be considered within the magnetosphere and enjoying earth's protection.
The only people who left that went to the moon
