Isn't it amazing that we live in a world where people have gone to the moon? In my mind, that doesn't seem all that significant. It happened nearly 50 years ago, and we've done so much since then. But think about it. We've sent humans to another celestial body. It's a pretty amazing thing.

And it puts our little world into perspective. What seems so big and durable is really small and fragile. Isn't this world a beautiful place? I look at the Earth in these photos and I don't try to pick out my country. I see Earth, as a whole, as my home. It is our home, floating in the blackness of space.

And not just that, but knowing that they are going somewhere that we've never been before, and knowing that they could easily not come back, but going anyway.
