Planet Earth

I was sitting here in my (unfortunately) very messy room looking at a poster I have of the Earth from Apollo 17 en route to the Moon. The poster is getting older and a bit worse for wear, but still I really enjoy it seeing this sphere of life in the midst of absolute darkness. The earth truly looks like a delicate object in the picture, possilby because it is the size of a basketball in the picture, but looks more like a marble so if it were dropped it would be smashed. In all reality I suppose that in comparitive thinking this would be so. The earth can be a sensitive place and we must strive to be good stewards of this planet that we live on for possible future generations.
