I love pictures of the Earth from space. It has only been since I was 22 years old that people could see such things.

Thousands of years of civilizations have passed when no one could even imagine seeing that picture. We take it for granted after only 43 years.

The APOD boggles my mind almost every day, Mr. Civilizations, and it’s all your fault! [smiles fondly at you]

Throughout history people never knew what the far side of the moon looked like. In 1959 the Soviets managed to photograph the far side for the first time. 50 years from now no one will be alive who can remember when no one knew what was on the far side of the moon.

based upon the issue of being 22 when these sorts of shots began, (1) you aren’t as old as you like to claim, (2) I’m older, LOL
