Earthrise

That famous photo from Christmas Eve, 1968 has inspired so many and will continue to do so many decades from now. To see the Earth rise like we would see the moon or the sun, it's intense. Knowing that the Earth is just a small speck of what is this universe.

Something so simple as being able to just see Earth, not the continents, not the countries, but the simple planet. It seems that we would have realized that it was silly to continue fighting our wars, that we would be able to put aside our differences and look towards the stars. After all with a world where mankind works together and pools their resources the amount of scientific knowledge that we would gain would be tremendous. I can only hope that in my lifetime I will see mankind set aside its differences and look to the future. To end this post here is part two of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, We Stopped Dreaming.
