How does it feel to see the Earth from outer space? National boundaries vanish and differences dissipate when we see our “pale blue dot” suspended in a thin cocoon of air. Some say this shift in perspective inspired the #EarthDay movement 50 years ago, after the first photograph of Earth from space crystalized in our collective conscience the fragility of our one shared home. In part 1 of One Home, astronaut Chris Hadfield pulls us to the window of his space shuttle and invites us to share a clarity of perspective from outer space.
