Never in all their history have men been able truly to conceive of the world as one. Single sphere, a globe, having the qualities of a globe, a round earth in which all the directions eventually meet.
In which there is no center because every point, or none, is center an equal earth which all men occupy as equals. The airman's earth, if free men make it, will be truly round: a globe in practice, not in theory.
The Earth was small, light blue, and so touchingly alone, our home that must be defended like a holy relic. The Earth was absolutely round. I believe I never knew what the word round meant until I saw Earth from space.
- Single sphere
- A globe
- Having the qualities of a globe
- A round earth in which all the directions eventually meet
As I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown at Hadley, I sort of realize there’s a fundamental truth to our nature, Man must explore . . . and this is exploration at its greatest.
The sky is the limit only for those who aren't afraid to fly!
