Lost in Space: Geography Training for Astronauts
The case one video in ‘One Earth, many scales’ presents a view of human interaction with the environment. People interact differently with their environment adjusting to the factors of the environment or showing modifications. The video gives geographic perspective into understanding the world as different experts from around the globe seek to express the necessary geographic details of the world. The focus majorly is on how the factors interact and how human and the physical environment are affected. The animations and commentary focus on physical aspects of a place and the adaptation of inhabitants to the adjustments.
The most attracting aspect of the presentation is the exploration by the astronauts to discover features of the world taking on the shuttle mission for Earth observation and the whole event fascinates. The images on the appearance of the earth have to be in a capture and data taken to explain just why the universe appears as it is. The unique nature of places presents a view of interactions and how the humans were adapting to the conditions and what attracted them to different locations. The most interesting thing is the discovery of resources in existence and how human get the attraction to the regions and how population differs from places.
The video made the topic as a major theme to come alive after seeing the events in the video justifying the presumption of the fact that the human interacts with the environment and would adjust to positioning. There are major environment and critical human issues only exposed on a space mission and imaging from ‘above’ to justify the theories and presumptions. It is indeed a fact that geographical aspects influence the distribution of people around the globe even as the places available for people to live in are a distance apart. The space view can present a broader understanding as to the problems experienced on earth and major scenes as they keep changing and the possible reasons.
