“There is but one Earth, tiny and fragile, and one must get 100,000 miles away to appreciate fully one's good fortune in living on it.” EarthAppreciateFortuneTinyMilesFragileGood FortuneLiving OnMiles Away Book:Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey Source: Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey
“I really beleive that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let's say 100,000 miles, their outlook wouls be fundamentally changed . The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy arguement suddenly silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist; blue and white,not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied.” IfsWorldImportantWould BeEarthPoliticalTurnsUnderstandingWhitePoorLeaderRichCryChangedPlanetsBlueDistanceTinyMilesInvisibleBordersTreatmentCommunistCapitalistGlobesOutlookPresentingEnviousNoisyUnifiedPolitical LeadersEnviedFacadeRich Or PoorHomogeneousBlue And White Author:Michael Collins
