"I
really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see
their planet from a distance of 100,000 miles their outlook could be
fundamentally changed. That all-important border would
be invisible, that noisy argument 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." Mike Collins, Command Module Pilot, Apollo 11
