Found this photo on my phone, I must have accidentally snapped it when out for a walk yesterday. We treat the Earth beneath us as just ‘the ground’, like an inert mass we fall onto and rest on with our ‘weight’. In reality we’re all astronauts, floating in space while this planet comes up underneath us, with every step. How badly we teach science, that people think you need a rocket to reach ‘space’. You’re in space right now.
