Chris Hadfield decided to document his experience in space and after 3 trips, he has released it. The astronaut decided it would be a new idea to show the world what it is like to see the earth from a different view. He orbited Earth 2,593 times, so he is the right guy to do it.

I think it is a great way for the people of the world to understand just how small we are. When seeing the whole planet from above, it is a reminder that the Earth is a delicate place, and it lets everybody experience what astronauts experience without traveling to space themselves. It also shows the improvements in technology that we can now take pictures in outer space to share with the world.
