Being the day that we all should stop and honor this "fragile orb" we live on, here's a quote and a link to an article today from the AP with some great quotes from our Astronauts including this gem from one of my favorites (AP via Firedoglake):

"'It's hard to appreciate the Earth when you're down right upon it because it's so huge.

 

"'It gives you in an instant, just at a position 240,000 miles away from it, (an idea of) how insignificant we are, how fragile we are, and how fortunate we are to have a body that will allow us to enjoy the sky and the trees and the water ... It's something that many people take for granted when they're born and they grow up within the environment. But they don't realize what they have. And I didn't till I left it."'

 

-Jim Lovell, Apollo 8 and 13

 

Take a minute today to get out and thank the Earth today! She will appreciate it!

 

Mama Terra,
