Starting in 2007, we'll be seeing a lot more of the Earth from space. The Chinese are launching their first lunar satellite this year, with the US, India, and Japan following in 2008. The missions will investigate the moon for possible future human landings, but we'll still take the opportunity to send back new images of Earth against the infinite black...For those who have already experienced it, the beauty of the planet has been an epiphany, eliciting deep concern for Earth's health, a visceral understanding of human 'oneness,' and clarity about the interconnectedness of things. Unlike those of us here among the trees, they have seen the forest."
