Summary: This image of planet Earth, taken by the Voyager 1 probe in 1990, is the most beautiful collection of pixels I've ever seen!Why it's a Mind Blow: If you've been reading Daily Mind Blow for a while, you may be wondering, "why all the space?" Well, I guess it's been on my mind a lot lately.
With the retirement of the space shuttle, the future of space exploration is less certain than at any other time in my life. For decades, NASA has helped carry our people and our imaginations to the stars. But traveling to the stars isn't just about looking outward; it's also about turning back around once in a while, and seeing ourselves from a fresh perspective. The satellite imagery and climate data gathered by NASA help us do this literally. But a heavenly perch grants insights that run far deeper than the material world.
John Kennedy said, "For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." At the end of the day, the destiny of all living things on planet Earth is shared, and it's only by asking the big questions that we can hope to discover the right answers.
Therefore, we set a course: "Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning." I hope you'll join me.
