Living in Space Gives New Understanding of Earth

Instead, he discovered new aspects of himself and a new understanding of his home planet.  He says, “For some reason, it takes all of this technology for us to come up here and understand the simplicity of things — the earth, the cosmos, and life itself, as a unity.”
