Sooner than expected seems to be a recurring theme about the impacts of the Climate Crisis.  Everybody - you, me, businesses, corporations, governments, and others - better get off their asses and take action NOW. 

Otherwise, bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye.

"I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let's say 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied."

As the spacecraft was in the process of rotating, Anders took this iconic picture showing Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon. In 2018, the International Astronomical Union commemorated the event by naming a 25 mile diameter crater "Anders' Earthrise." https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/apollo-8-astronaut-bill-anders-captures-earthrise https://www.instagram.com/p/CmktryAJGc-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
