even better than the real thing
The space cadets who looked out from a simulator on Channel 4's reality TV show had a unique experience. They believed they were in space looking down at Earth, and they were profoundly moved. It's a shame this was built on the premise of a lie; yet still, it was real to them at the time. I wonder how much of what we see or believe is rather what we'd like to believe we're seeing.

Of course, it depends what we mean by "seeing" Brian- I can see with my head frequently what my eyes don't. The philosophers have a field day with this, especially when it comes to what the blind see in their dreaming. I believe what you're saying though!
Your beautiful pictorial accompaniment reminded me of the first pictures of earth from around the moon on the Apollo missions of the 60s, which Heinz beans handed out on glossy posters in an age before Photoshop could turn a photograph into a photocon.
