"The Moon diameter (approximately equal to the distance from New York to Las Vegas)"

Imagine how glorious and huge the Earth must look like from the Moon.

And how gloriously dumb human kind looks like considering we are fighting petty wars over resources we could get from space in unlimited amounts.

No need to imagine, have a look at

and https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_6...

I would have linked to the 'Blue Marble' picture but that was taken mid-flight rather than from the moon itself.

The photo doesn't do it justice tho. Just like a photo of the full Moon low on the horizon doesn't look anywhere close to what my eyes are seeing. Now imagine a full moon, with a diameter roughly 4 times as big, that's how big the Earth is looking back from the moon. North America itself is the size of the full moon. Pretty wild to think about.
