so few of us have seen this view with our own eyes. So if you have experienced the earth like this, which is why we want to show you our planet from an astronaut's point of view, because when you're actually up here, it's an or inspiring thing to behold. In that moment circling the planet, you start to realise that most out their place in the universe, he's actually the place we call home. Welcome to one strange rock, a show that will change your perspective on our planet forever. We tend to think of our home as our life support, but it's not always here to support us. History of already is equal mass destruction. Genesis is in a constant state of change. Early in our history, so much space debris rained down. It turned our planet into a land of molten rock. 1,000,000 years later, bacteria in our oceans filled the atmosphere with poisonous gas. It's incredible, any of us. And yet all around us, his life as an astronaut looking down, you understand this world is interconnected. You realise this is one heck of a system. There's a lot of real estate out there, so system you probably don't lift unless you're cool about your blood, your eyeballs freezing. But then there's a rivers, tropical islands, blue skies. It's kind of a miracle our planet didn't come like this out of the box. It took some assembly. Four billion years of changes, some tiny. So and if not for these changes, things that we always assumed we're here to help us would have ended us like the sun. We've only ever experienced a fraction of the sun's power you can send. Many weapons are way heat, light, deadly flares that devastate entire planets. Look at Mars Solar flares the size of 100 atomic bombs ripped away. Its atmosphere on Earth is even closer to this poor, dead Mars. If life on Earth had to experience the ultraviolet light, astronauts doing space will be fatal in space. You need a $12 million space suit to protect you from the sun. So why we not dust and ashes on the edge of space to the deepest oceans, to some of the most hostile places our planet strong defence on every player on it is a role. This is the storey of one strange rock on life's impossible survival. There really is no place like home
