7. The Overview effect

On February 7th 1971, astronaut Ed Mitchell was rocketing through space between the Earth and the Moon when something very odd happened... A feeling of bliss, timelessness, and connectedness began to overwhelm him. He instantly and profoundly felt the understanding of his constituent atoms as having been born in the fires of ancient supernovas. Well over 30 astronauts and cosmonauts have described a strange, nirvana-like phenomenon that can occur suddenly during space travel, which is collectively referred to as the “Overview Effect”, which has broadened their own understanding of our connection to space.
