宇宙飛行士の視点で地球を眺めると意識の変革が起こると言われ、これを「オーバービュー・エフェクト(概観効果)」と呼びますが、ゲルスト宇宙飛行士のツイートにもその一端が現れているようです。
“I just can’t get it in my head that there is often such a tragic discrepancy between what our planet looks like from above, and what is actually happening in so many places the ground. How would we explain all this to an interplanetary visitor?”

Astronaut’s perspective has been said to change consciousness which is called “the Overview Effect.” Gerst’s tweet seems to show a part of this effect.
