Quote:In 1969, the Earth was first viewed in a new way: from the surface of another celestial body, as a delicate, living jewel in the vast dark sea of space. Since then, NASA has contributed in many areas to our understanding of the Earth and to our need for cleaner, greener technologies. From solar arrays and fuel cells to Earth-observing satellites, more efficient aircraft, climate models, and air/water/waste recycling systems, NASA’s contributions to Earth, environment, and green technologies continue today. With a new drive to build an energy-independent nation and reduce our impact on the environment, NASA can make immediate and significant contributions to our Earth-based challenges and at the same time, advance the Agency’s missions in science, aeronautics, and space exploration.

They find themselves needing to come up with solutions for problems in space exploration - and those solutions keep turning out to be useful to us down here on planet earth... the mothership, if you will, lol.

While many historical figures had long since noted the reality of our sun/earth relationship. If I am remembering correctly, the Vatican, while secretly accepting the truth, did not officially make a public statement on the earth/sun relationship, until they were presented with the first photo from the moon looking at the earth.
