''Many astrunauts and cosmonauts alike have reported a strong sensation of euphoria and even a significant cognitive shift in their perspective on life as well as themselves once they saw the Earth from a distance. Many have explained it as an overwhelming sensation that everything in the universe is somehow connected, that nation boundaries completely vanish, coupled with the realization that our world is incredibly fragile. It seems like a quite reasonable reaction. Looking back at the Earth from a distance must be an experience like none other. And what make it so interesting is that it's not an isolated incident. Many people who have returned from space after looking back at our planet, either from orbit or from the Moon, have explained the sensation in very similar fashion. Psychologists, neuroscientists, and physicians have all reported that many of these people have had a notable shift in their behavior and outlook on life and the world.''
