Orion is hurtling toward where the Moon will be, not where it is-like a quarterback leading his receiver-they've already got a slightly different angle on the Moon than we do here on Earth.

When astronauts look back at Earth from space, they often describe an experience so profound that it permanently alters how they perceive life. Known as the "overview effect," this shift in consciousness reveals our planet not as a compilation of nations divided by artificial borders. Instead, Earth appears as an awe-inspiring, fragile, blue-green orb, hurtling through the infinite dark. The overview effect reported by astronauts has lessons for those of us on Earth.
