There's one thing we can get on earth and no where else, right now: Skies of blue and couds of white, the bright blessed day and the dark sacred night. And we think to ourselves: what a wonderful world. We won't go into space to find it anywhere else. We will go to space to keep it clean on earth, by making our messes out there.
