I can’t stop watching this. Seriously.. everything is surreal in this video. No special effects or CGI gimmicks. The earth in the background is really us.. our home. This is just a fine example of humanity at it’s best. A reminder of the things we can achieve and experience when we work together for a better life instead of killing/taking advantage of one another.

And more details about how the piece was put together:
