I really like the 2nd video too. Especially because it always had one thing in the frame that videos of Earth often don't - that thin skin on the top of the surface we call an atmosphere. That's all we get to both breath and fly in!
An interesting fact fact is that in a scale sense you can liken the the thickness of the atmosphere to the thickness of the skin on an apple. However the crust is even thinner in scale terms like a postage stamp in a basketball
Funny little planet ay ??
“The knack of flying is learning how to throw your machine at the ground and miss.”
