This is an awesome post to read. It's just...an amazing account that makes me feel a bit a part of something that, by the time I was aware, simply was as if it were commonplace. It was only as an adult that I looked at pictures of my planet and realized that thinking of it as "my planet" and picturing PHOTOS of it from off-world were things that my parents did not grow up with, that the automatic visualization of your icon simply did not EXIST before sometime after 1957.
