    Give them all a vision of the Earth from space. Look at that, all ya sonsa bitches.

    “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’”

    — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, People magazine, 8 April 1974.
