Earthrise.. does anybody remember when ...

[NightFox]

Democrats, Republicans and Independents decided to all be AMERICANS and reached for the impossible only to just grasp the extraordinary, there was a day in 1968 when every human being on Earth decided to be an American because our reach inspired them beyond their grasp, what's happened to us ? For those who can remember and for those that can't I would like to share this short video as a demonstration of what is possible when we put our petty differences aside and embrace our fellow citizens as human beings instead of putting them into neat little partisan boxes and then proceeding to do our utmost to dehumanize them.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." -- President John F. Kennedy.



"It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you" -- Valerie, V for Vendetta.

Yes, and, sadly, there are people that have been fighting the implications of that picture ever since it was takes. For we see just one beautiful planet, no visible political, religious, or cultural divisions.

Egads! I have discovered why the earth is warm. It is a wet billiard ball 93 million miles away from a nuclear furnace.

I've heard it jokingly said that we may have already been visited by alien life, and that it's entirely possible that they considered us too primitive to deal with yet.

Wouldn't blame 'em, y'know?

Thanks to conservative republicans who got man to the moon! Now NASA is run by liberals. What is it doing? Trying to show Muslim science is relevant.

One small step for man...one big reason to remain on the moon and view libtardville from afar.....
