1. That was beautiful. Thanks malaise! nt

[Big Blue Marble]

2. Profound

Why do we so easily lose our sense of unity as well as deep appreciation for the gift of our planet,
when these are the only attributes that will save us from ourselves?

[malaise]

4. We're idiots

That's why. We have no idea what is important

8. See my sig line

[malaise]

9. It is profound

This is the line I use - the only philosophical truth of which I am certain is that everything that lives eventually dies.

3. K&R

That was stunning! This is what I always thought of when I heard Bette Miller singing "From A Distance"... back in 1990-91 when GHWB took us to Kuwait to kick out Saddam. I swear, I was not smoking anything... but I would close my eyes and listen to that song
and imagine that I WAS in outer space looking back at the earth.

5. Very interesting

Are you sure you weren't smoking?

[ReRe]

10. I swear I wasn't.

It would have been 100 times better had I, though.

[woo me with science]

6. Wow. Thank you.

7. That was beautiful.

I have been thinking and trying to say this for a while. It is wonderful to hear it from the view of the space explorers.

If only, back when we first saw that first picture of our home we took it to heart,things would be much different now.

I shared this on my FB page with the message: We are all here together. We are all made of the same stuff.

11. Outer Space Has A Liberal Bias!

[malaise]

[Uncle Joe]

13. That was a great and profound video.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.

14. A friend sent it by email

but I think it was posted here ages ago. Just thought it was appropriate given the ubiquitous chaos
