No (real) Captain Kirk has been surrounded by unending three dimensional space, not even those inside capsules. They're just peeking out a window.
Unless ... did he space walk?

You mean like that he was acting funny after he got out of the capsule because he shit his pants?Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:04 am William Shatner Reacts To Seeing Earth From Space: ‘It’s So Fragile’

Question to Scott or Walker...does William Shatner know something we don't?

He is only an actor and so is simply awed by the experience. Besides his age affecting him, he was likely referring to all general Earth issues affectively detroying our planet's ecosystem. Don't read too much into it.

I have Sony VR and NASA Does have these videos. One is a trip to the top of the atmosphere and back down just like these trips. Journey To The Edge Of Space (360 Video) They didn't require people to go on the trip. There are also companies that specifically deal with Natural wonders of the world. They are getting up to 4K per eye but Sony's is only up to 1080p per eye, which is excellent for any artificial creations.seeds wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 7:19 pmPrecisely!Scott Mayers wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 5:27 pm He is only an actor and so is simply awed by the experience.

I suggest that if everyone could venture out into space and look back at the earth in full 3-D glory, as opposed to this tired old 2-D image...
...they would be changed, perhaps profoundly so.
That's why I have often suggested that the next best thing would be for NASA to embark on a mission to take pictures of the earth from afar using the most advanced 3-D (still and video) cameras, so that everyone...
(via, perhaps, virtual headsets or other means)
...can get sort of a quasi experience of what the Apollo astronauts (and captain Kirk) experienced.
(Note: It's important that it be 3-D images of the "real thing," and not some computer generated simulations.)

Scott, you have provided some excellent information. However, it is clear (to me, anyway) that NASA simply doesn't have the 3-D shots and videos of the earth that I'm talking about.
Hey, what's up?
And the point of the illustration (and, indeed, the point of this post) is that most humans are simply not conscious enough to realize just how strange our situation truly is.Oh nothing. What's up with you?...
...There's something fishy here, but I'm not sure what it is.
Three dimensional imaging is lost if objects are very large or far away, especially if it has no motion to even be able to infer perspective. This is because the illusion for humans requires respecting the distance between the eyes that is about an inch or about 2.5 cm.
