One Strange Rock: Gasp. -
Rory and I watched the first chapter of ‘One Strange Rock’. Narrated by astronauts, the National Geographic documentary addresses a very fundamental question raised by humankind’s exploration of the Cosmos: Why is the Earth, the third rock from the sun, so very different from the rest of our solar system? The first episode, entitled Gasp, describes the role of microbes in the development of our present atmosphere, as well as the role of diatoms and green plants in a delicate balancing act. It also shows how the water cycle works to create the largest river in the world, which exists in vapor form and sits above the Amazon rainforest; a literal River in the sky
