"The
earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the
blackness of
space. As we got farther and farther away, it diminished in
size.
Finally it shrank
to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you
can imagine.
That beautiful,
warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that
if you touched
it with a
finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to
change a person.
I felt the presence of God." - James Irwin, Astronaut, Apollo
