Earth from Space

Over the weekend I watched NOVA: Earth from Space. All I can say is WOW! WOW! . . .  WOW! I am not sure I have ever watched a movie more mind blowing than this one. I HIGHLY recommend it. If you click on the image above you can see a trailer and if you click on this link you can actually stream the 2 hour video right to your computer for free.

I have some personal connections to the movie and perspective it shows. My father use to design circuit boards for NASA and I am pretty sure some of the satellites featured in the movie were ones he worked on.

Below is a picture that I took looking out the window of a plane as we crossed the Great Plains. It inspire the design Space Cowboy.

I must admit when the US Postal Service came out with their Earthscapes stamp collection in 2012 I had to do a double take.

The "Center-Pivot Irrigation" (pictured here) was taken by the NASA/U.S. Geological Survey Landsat 7 satellite. Is it just me or does it remind you of Space Cowboy Red/Green??

I encourage you and your family to take the time to watch the NOVA: Earth from Space episode. When you see our planet from space, suddenly the connection to all things becomes so beautiful and undeniable.
