A Space Ship

We have been around for a while; this is our only place, a small blue planet

Bucky saw it as a spaceship, if you want to know what it feels like to be an astronaut, just look out there, you are on a spaceship floating at high speeds through the universe.

Now when we think of the earth in this way, as a space ship, it does not make much sense that the bridge is fighting with the boiler room and the stewards with the kitchen, and nobody is paying any attention to where the ship is heading.

There is no manual with this ship, we have to figure it out by ourselves, make it up as we go along.

Until now we have made at times great decisions and at time very poor once.

So we better start telling the truth about our circumstances to our self’s and our kids, there is nowhere else to go for right now, and if this thing goes down we better know we go down with it.

I have a surprise for you; we are all part of this, as humans we are not apart from nature.

When Bucky designed the map he wanted to show one island in an ocean.

This map shows the most accurate depiction of the landmass, with less than 1% distortion of the landmass, we can see very clearly how big the southern hemisphere is in relation to the north and that Australia is bigger than Greenland.

This is not what I have learned in school, and it is not what is being taught in most cases today.

I also like the fact that I don’t see two continents separated be a big ocean, now I see one landmass spanning this planet.

AND I LOVE IT
