Recently, I have been getting more involved with the space program looking at the world from the lens of the astronauts. Look at this image of the earth as seen from the moon surface. You see how small the earth is? up from the moon you see nothing on the planet earth but a small blue planet with no colors, no boundaries, no walls, no anything but mostly the ocean. Looking at this from that lens you wonder why the struggles, the wars, the division, the hatred, the killings eg. the dismemberment of Jamal Kashoggi, why African leaders will not leave power after 30yrs in power. Why racism, why people have nationalistic tendencies, why are people on the blue planet struggling on a daily basis to divide a planet with no boundaries when you see it from the Apollo lens as one small beautiful Ball.
