SJS/GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: The evolution of Above can be seen as an 'Overview', the beginnings of a new vision and perspective of life on Earth. Humans ascended into the heavens with NASA Apollo missions. In December 1968 the Apollo 8 astronauts looked out their spaceship window as they were orbiting around the Moon and they were surprised...

Earth was coming into view, rising in the distance...

The three astronauts scrambled for a camera and first 'Earthrise' images were captured and delivered home.

The times called for peace, environmental protection, anti-nuke action -- and so we began...


Earth in human hands...

From our new vantage point, looking back from Earth's moon, humanity's understanding of ourselves and our place as stewards of life on Earth sprung forth.

The modern environmental movement had work to do and we set ourselves to the task at hand.

New ways of seeing national security began with 'we're all planet citizens'. Above, looking back home, our Blue Planet is so worth preserving and securing.
