  1. He should have had a picture taken where he has his arms up so it'd look like he were holding up the planet like Atlas. That would have been sweet.

  3. I feel small at every moment, I think. Perspective is altogether the most terrifying and liberating thing a person can have. :-)

    Have a great weekend buddy. :-)

  4. I wish everyone could see the earth from space and recognize how small and vulnerable we are. And that we're all in this together. << hopefully that's not too cheesy. :)

  7. Nature has a way of making me feel small. I can only imagine if I stood on another world. I'd love to.

  8. Great little history lesson! I always feel small when I look at the stars. Or from a mountain top. Or at the ocean. I think it's very good for us to feel small.

  12. I think I would have felt frightened also at that feeling of smallness. Small and unimportant in the scheme of the universe.

  18. I feel small next to an SUV - seeing the earth from the surface of the moon would probably also have an effect on my psyche.

    Have a good weekend
