And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary? ↗

The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time. ↗
