From where you are standing right now, the Earth may not look like much, but 254 miles of distance can grant you an entirely new perspective. This globe that we live on is more than our home, it is a beacon, pulsing with life and activity. This green and blue orb is an oasis amongst the vast emptiness around it. Some people dream of a space walk. May I be the first to say, the dreams do not do it justice. When you step out of that airlock, you will feel all of the weight lift from your shoulders. This is what it truly means to be free. To be floating, attached to the regular world by nothing more than a cable, free to walk, free to laugh, and free to envy, among the stars.
