Among all the NASA shows I've watched this month

This is one of the best.

The inherent message is that our species and planet would be much better off if far more of our leaders and inhabitants could journey into cislunar space at least once.

1. some should be left there

I can think of a few who would greatly benefit the planet if they were left in orbit without one of the fine space suits made by those wonderful women at ILC.

2. The Trumpers need their own Country. Colonize the Moon....

I am sure we would be more than happy to raise taxes in order to make that possible and thus sanity return to the United States. They are living in a vacuum anyways. Why not the Moon?

3. Quote from astronaut Edgar Mitchell about the persepective you get from space.

You realize we're all on the same rock, there are no lines, you reallize what petty differences we allow to control our actions. Every world leader should be REQUIRED to take that look.

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.”― Edgar Mitchell

4. It's called "The Overview Effect"

and has been noted as a consistent result of those who spent time in near-Earth orbit, cislunar space and beyond. It still infects ISS inhabitants and is referenced by those closest to astronauts.

The most poignant result of it came from Carl Sagan after Voyager I snapped a shot of the Earth as the craft was leaving the solar system in 1990. The portrait of our world from 4 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) away was humbling.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
