I found this fascinating. They have attached 4 high def webcams to the international space station, pointed down at Earth. Now anyone with an internet connection can view the Earth live, in real time, from space!

If the image appears dark, it is for the 45 minutes the space station is on the "night" side of Earth. Check back again often, this is a limited time live feed!

I can't remember which astronaut said it, Buzz, I'm not sure, but he said everyone should view the Earth from space. It is so beautiful and humbling, and made him realise how insignificant we are, put everything into perspective, and the long and short of it was perhaps we wouldn't be so keen and hellbent on destroying it with war and stuff...... it was SOMETHING like that, I can't remember the words but you get the gist. :smile:
