Earth hung below, a dull rock in a basket of shining marbles. The rainbow tails of comets brushed past at an awesome speed, and the red orange of zealous Mars reflected on his pale face.

The blue green of Earth now seemed welcome to the human. The universe was vast and breathtaking indeed, but there’s never been another place like home.
