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 first ascended into the heavens and envisioned Earth from Above 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...

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 calls to us to protect and secure life on Earth.
