The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Connections from a unique viewpoint

Every day, only about six people get to see the broad spectrum of human and other physical connections across our planet from a unique viewpoint: the International Space Station. As they orbit the earth every 90 minutes, they get to watch evolving weather systems, document humans actively changing the planet's surface, and to observe that the Earth is one system. As big as all of us think it is, the view from space shows us how interconnected all of us really are.
