Our home. We are a part of this planet, not the other way round. When we start to live our lives in the reality that we are connected to everything, rather living on top of it all, we may just start finding the balance between happiness, sustainability, conservation and an equal future for all life on earth.
Earth as Viewed From 10,000 Miles
On November 9, 1967, the uncrewed Apollo 4 test flight made a great ellipse around Earth as a test of the translunar motors and of the high speed entry required of a crewed flight returning from the Moon. A 70mm camera was programmed to look out a window toward Earth, and take a series of photographs from “high apogee.” Seen looking west are coastal Brazil, the Atlantic Ocean, West Africa and Antarctica. This photograph was made as the Apollo 4 spacecraft, still attached to the S-IVB (third) stage, orbited Earth at an altitude of 9,544 miles.
