On that Earth is, as Carl Sagan describes it in his famous \u201cPale Blue Dot\u201d speech, \u201c\u2026everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These views also made AlNeyadi realize the fragility of the planet, which he is about to return to. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd it\u2019s only protected by a thin layer of atmosphere.
