Today, forty+ years after the Apollo mission's revealing images of blue #planetearth, "'''citizens of the planet'''" are becoming a "New Space" generation with mini-sats sending and sharing full-spectrum imaging with [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Earth_Imaging-New_Space a life-altering array of new views] of our planet. 

Apollo's [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/mw/images/Apollo.jpg famous iconic images] are being enhanced and extended with new ways of seeing and experiencing of our planet -- and opening new possibilities to secure our environment for ages to come.
