A View From Afar

The crew of Apollo 8 took this photo on Christmas Eve 1968 while oribiting our one and only moon, some 270,000 miles from the Earth. I was going to write what it makes me think, but I feel that is pretty obvious. Almost every person that sees this photo thinks only one thought, and it is probably one of the most powerful and important thoughts a human can have.

Yes, and that thought is "where the hell are my care keys?"

Or, you know, I wish we lived in space.
