The more interconnected we are, the more we know this is true. ❤️🙏
After spending 178 days aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Ron Garan returned to Earth with a life-altering insight. From orbit, our planet appears as a single, glowing blue world — no borders, no nations, no divisions — just one delicate home drifting through space. The lines we fight over on Earth simply don’t exist from above.
From space, Garan witnessed the planet’s fragility up close: a thin blue atmosphere shielding all life, lightning storms flashing across continents, and auroras rippling over the poles. That view reshaped his understanding of humanity’s place in the universe and exposed how disconnected our priorities have become.
He argues that humanity has the order wrong. Instead of placing the economy above all else, the true hierarchy should be planet first, society second, and economy last. Earth, he says, isn’t something we own — it’s a shared spacecraft. And every human is part of the crew, not a passenger.
Our future depends on realizing a simple truth: everything that divides us on the ground disappears the moment you look at Earth from space.
