🚀 Take a minute to read what actor William Shatner wrote about his Blue Origin space trip in his book 'Boldly Go':
"They should’ve sent a poet. I discovered that the beauty isn’t out there, it’s down here, with all of us. Leaving that behind made my connection to our tiny planet even more profound.
It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness.
Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna . . . things that took five billion years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind. It filled me with dread.
My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral."

When Vincent van Gogh started painting he didn't use bright colours — so what changed?
It's a story about the importance of what we consume and the people we spend time with...
