Life on our planet as you've never seen it before
A team of astronauts in the International Space Station collect
meteorological data, conduct scientific experiments and test the limits
of the human body. But mostly they observe. Together they watch their
silent blue planet, circling it sixteen times, spinning past continents
and cycling through seasons, taking in glaciers and deserts, the peaks
of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular
beauty witnessed in a single day.
Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant
pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes
thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an
island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of
its destruction.
The fragility of human life fills their conversations, their fears,
their dreams. So far from earth, they have never felt more part - or
protective - of it. They begin to ask, what is life without earth? What
is earth without humanity?
