Spoken word translation:

First part (Ulrich Walter speaking about his philosophical experiences in Space):
The Overview Effect (Uberblickeffekt) of the earth includes also a completely different look at the role as mankind. You no longer have the regard to the problems on earth, so to say it is like a second Copernican revolution. The Earth is not the centre, which we know intellectually, but here you see it. You look to the side and the earth ball is not so big and the rest is universe. With its coldness. And then you actually see that Earth is home, indeed, but quite small. It does not matter much in space. And then a thought is overwhelming you saying "Look at that, our planet is actually very fragile, you see the atmosphere, the thin layer of only 20 to 30 km, that's just nothing compared to the diameter of the Earth what makes 13.000 km, so you see these razor-thin layer on which people live, you can see the fragility against the universe, and then you feel for the Earth. But you also can see a whole new position of mankind, we have no longer the same position as before, when seen as a central point where everything is focused on one, because it is precisely the centre of attention, and now it is not so. And then - for the first time - a thought raised in me that mankind is even less than thought, and that was for me a relatively new perspective, I must admit, the position is very different one now. And then comes the thought what is the actual regard of mankind to the universe? Which position do we have in effect? ...

Second part:
With this question some people see the sand grain complex. This is a complex which does not ultimately depends on whether or not there are others. Mankind has a great arrogance when the second or third child is born in the family, so the first one is jealous right away and when they realize that there are more except in the own family, in my folk, on the continent. It's always been a learning process that we are on a small planet which belongs to a fixed star, one among one or two billion only in our galaxy. Thinking about can destroy one's hope. And then they ask themselves "Who am I, only an ant?"
