Image description: An astronaut in a white space suit kneeling on the surface of the moon, looking up towards a large, vividly detailed Earth. The Earth appears to be in a crescent phase, with sunlight illuminating part of its surface, revealing blue oceans and cloud formations against the darkness of space. Bright fiery craters can be seen on the dark side of the Earth, adding a drama to the scene.

    Several someone’s have probably done this already, but that is one hell of a depressing story idea.

    Watching your home be totally annihilated, being the last person to see those final moments, the last of the embers fall to ash. Counting out your supplies, knowing you’re going to die one way or another, the last of your kind on an otherwise lifeless rock. Hearing “voices” in the random noise picked up across a radio band, almost like there’s something left on the burnt out husk you stare down on every “morning”.

    If you have a craft capable of launch and re-entry, do you even try? You’re dead either way. Is it worth it to maybe end up finding nothing, or to just finally take one last look at everything you once knew, try to remember before the scars, and take the helmet off?

      1. You would not see this view from the moon, look up Earthrise to see the relative size of the earth from the moon.

      If you were on the ISS, you would see parts of the earth, but not this far away.

      1. If you were on the ISS and this happened, you would probably be ordered to remain on station, now the longer you stay in weightlessness the worse your muscles attorphy, you are also being exposed to a higher dose of constant background radiation than normal. Even under normal circumstances you need help and medical attention after returning from a long stay in space. In a nuclear war that help would be very difficult to get to you without from Russia/USA. Returning to a destroyed world will be a lesson in agony at best, and an agonizing death at worst

      It is basically having to choose between two inhospitable nuclear barren lands. But one has oxygen on it. Hell yes I try.
