The human in question was Apollo 15 Moonwalker Jim Irwin, who photographed this striking prospect of Earth on the way back home from the Moon in August 1971

That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

The older I get the more terrifying it becomes. They went so far away from everything humans need to survive. When I was younger it was like “yeah space is cool, I would love to go to the moon.” Now when I see images like this I am overwhelmed with how fragile our lives are and how I never want to be away from the beautiful, warm, protective earth.
