Did even one of them notice the thin strip of gas that keeps us alive?

The highest elevation human settlement is 16.7k feet ASL, or 3.1 miles. 25% of the residents suffer hypoxia, amongst other issues: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Rinconada,_Peru

That's it folks.

A strip of atmosphere 0.04% of earth's diameter that we’re filling with CO2 for space selfies and other wastefulness.

Ah, forget it.

Far easier to attack non-whites, trans and autistic people than corporate goliaths.

@f800gecko Yes they did notice, Kyle. Look up some of the things early astronauts said about seeing Earth from space.

@anne_twain

My post was ambiguous - I meant this latest batch of space tourists. I've pinned a quote from William Shatner after his spaceflight that makes for quite a contrast from the coverage we saw on this occasion.

Again, as much a media failure as one of the participants this time around.
