It’s a whole different world when you go up into space and see just how little our planet actually is. Yet it is filled with numerous wonders created by both humans and nature, and horrors we’d rather ignore because they would give us nightmares. When you go up so high you get to see things in a new perspective. You might not see the bugs, birds, people, and animals, but you see each and every forest fire, oil spill, and man-made marvel on the planet and no thing is too small or irrelevant.
