The astronauts had a lot of things to say about seeing the Earth from this perspective. A little blue marble floating in the void. The emotions they felt as they contemplated the Earth and humanity's place in the universe.
But they're not here so I'm going to summarize: Shit's delicate, be careful with it. It'd be a real bruh moment if we fucked up our one and only planet wouldn't it?
