Blackness

    When you go on a Mars mission, most people don't understand is that once astronauts lose sight of Earth, there’ll be nothing to see outside the window. “You’ll be bathed in permanent sunlight, so you won’t even see any stars,” according to astronaut Andy Thomas. “All you’ll see is black.”  

    Humans don’t belong in space. It's as simple as that. We evolved on Earth, and that's where we are meant to live. While weightlessness is an amazing phenomenon many people dream about experiencing, most astronauts soon begin to dream of walking. “Only in space do you understand what incredible happiness it is, just to walk. To walk on Earth.”
