That's us, together.

While we're looking up at the Artemis II astronauts journeying to the Moon, they're looking back home at us. 

In this image, Earth peeks through the capsule window, reminding us that a view like this relies on the ingenuity and hard work of countless people back home.

In the second image, we see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere.

Behaviors propagate through social networks up to three degrees of separation. One person’s decision to act changes the probability that their friends will act, and their friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends. A study published in Nature by Bond and colleagues, using data from 61 million Facebook users, confirmed that social transmission of voting behavior generated roughly 340,000 additional votes in a single election.

No one who cast those additional votes received a phone call explaining that their friend’s friend’s friend had inspired them. The influence was invisible to every person it touched. Which means every act of visible courage, every phone call, every conversation, every refusal to disengage, sends a signal rippling through networks in ways the sender will never see and can never measure. We are pressing levers connected to machinery we cannot see the edges of.
