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.

It amazes me every time I stop to think on it.
