Earth Day


"The sheer beauty of it just brought tears to my eyes.

"If people can see Earth from up here, see it without those borders, see it without any differences in race or religion, they would have a completely different perspective. Because when you see it from that angle, you cannot think of your home or your country. All you can see is one Earth...."

Anousheh Ansari, Iranian-American space tourist who flew last year to the international space station.

"I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth."

Wally Schirra, who flew around Earth on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in the 1960s.
