"The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time"

This suggests that he was able to appreciate the beauty of the Earth from room, which it was a sight to lay eyes on. He also suggests that the view of the Earth from room is similar to what is seen in IMAX motion pictures, suggesting that it is an impressive experience. This quote speaks to the beauty of the Earth from space, and also the remorse of not having the ability to value it more.
