        Very cool. It amazes me as well to see our tiny sphere from a distance, reminds me of how alone and insignificant we are in the overall scheme of things.

            Alone yes, but I think we each are really rather quite significant - in all the vast universe, that we know of, there's only one of each of us. That uniqueness is significant! :-D

                                  Alone yes, but I think we each are really rather quite significant - in all the vast universe, that we know of, there's only one of each of us. That uniqueness is significant! :-D
