And they kind of basically fall into different categories.

So he's done all these interviews with, going back to the very first astronauts and cosmonauts,

That has continued up until recently.

What they describe sometimes is really about noticing that when you look at the Earth, there's no lines.

It's not like we're used to seeing maps of the Earth where there's lines separating countries.

Obviously, we know that those lines aren't real.

But something about the experience of actually looking at the planet with your eyes and seeing that there's nothing separating one nation from the next apparently just really reinforces the idea that we are all one, right?

We humanity are all occupying the same planet and those divisions that we draw are artificial.

And so people sometimes come back really kind of with this new sense of the unity of all humanity.

Well, we can talk about the moon first.

So, you know, we've all seen the videos of the Apollo astronauts moving around on the moon.

They do the kind of hop thing, right, where they're kind of bouncing around.

That's because the moon has one sixth the gravity of Earth.

And so that would be true whether you're on the surface in a spacesuit like we have seen for astronauts or if you're like inside of an enclosure.

where you could potentially, if it's a pressurized enclosure, has an atmosphere you can breathe, you wouldn't need a spacesuit, but you'd still be in that one-sixth gravity.

We don't really have a way of altering that.

So yeah, the way that you move would be different.

I like to think about sports would be super cool and interesting, right?

Like...

If you're in that lower gravity environment.
