The Overview Effect

[unidentified]

I agree that all the politicians should be sent to space and please don't bring them back

[trollinator]

‘And i could rule it all’ -the politician in question

[Njabuloseh]

I think astronauts grossly underestimate the depravity of politicians.

[azzaker_dan]

Gotta remember that these astronauts were first smart enough to be sent up there, not all people can see what they see.

[robynmorris]

I completely agree that all world leaders should be sent into space! Fantastic idea.

Politicians be like - So much of it I don't control

[thecrackin]

The use of the Interstellar music is _mwah_

[bruceh]

Let's not wait for politicians to get up there; make them accountable now.

“look at that, you son of a b—“ that is an amazing quote

[MarkToast]

The fact that so many astronauts have had this feeling really sells it for me. We get too stuck in the world, thinking small things are big things and big things don’t matter because they’re beyond us

[crimsontheworld]

But then some politicians might think nothing matters and might be even more willing to start conflict

Carl Sagan’s, “A pale blue dot”, is a more powerful illustration of our home in my opinion.

"Something weird happens"

Gains a new perspective

[SquareFoil]

The Interstellar theme goes hard while receiving existential dread

[lillygh]

“for those of us who havent left earth, ” he says it like we’re the weird ones

[robinbirdj]

It’s called a shift in perspective. Has that never happened before? Cruising to the Bahamas I had a small taste of the vastness of earth and our teeny tiny place in it. But sure, send the politicians to space together. For about 4 years!

[Tertial]

Bro the Interstellar theme always hits hard AF

[ekklesiast]

But it needs to be protected from politicians

[ccctube]

I will probably never go to space, but magic mushrooms definitely provoked the overview effect in me.

[olive-yello]

I agree, world leaders should go into space. I remember flying a plane for the first time as a kid and thinking "holy crap I'm so small... and insignificant." I can't imagine what space would do
