thrilled! By that point, I assume I'd have ample training to be in such a situation. No room for nerves, only protocol, and process!

Oh yes, there's a lot of preparation behind this. Astronauts spend thousands of hours planning and training in countless simulations that prepare them for just about anything on a space mission. Still, they never really know what to expect until they get there!

Even astronauts and cosmonauts sometimes have difficulty communicating the impact that it can have on you. Space philosopher Frank White coined the term "overview effect" in 1987. The overview effect can create powerful shifts in the way you think about Earth and life.
