"In my lifetime we humans got up and off the earth and had our first look at it. Maybe that's the most important 'look' in human history. Until then it was just the idea it was round. Looking at the earth has, and still is, changing us. Water ironically is the dominate visual feature from space. I adore the swirling vapor, and the currents of the oceans make a kind of fingerprint pattern. If you saw earth from another planet you would know it's incredibly special and one thing you would not see is political boundaries. "
