Earthrise

One of the most compelling moments of the Apollo 8 mission in 1968 was the earthrise: When we contemplate this point-of-view, history becomes clear--from prehistoric, to world wars, to global warming--it all happened on that pale blue dot.

40 years later...

“Earthrise” showed us where we are, what we can do and what we share. It showed us who we are, together; the people of a tough, long-lasting world, shot through with the light of a continuous creation. (From op-ed 'Not-So-Lonely-Planet' NY Times 12/24/o8)
