TERRANAUTS & THE OVERVIEW EFFECT
Frank White, Overview Institute (USA) Co-founder, and author of the ground-breaking book The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution (2014) has coined an expression that is very similar to the term planetary human - 'the terranaut.'
In his book he defines terranauts as:
“... people who have achieved 'astronaut awareness’ without going into orbit or to the moon. They have realised that the Earth is a natural spaceship (described as ‘Spaceship Earth’ by Buckminster Fuller) and all of us are, in a very real sense, astronauts who make up its crew.”

On April 4th 1955, only days before his death, in one of the last brief entries in his personal diary, he uses this expression as he elaborates upon the concepts of "neo-humanism" or the "ultra-Human" and from elsewhere, "the planetization of Mankind". There one encounters his concluding expression:
