Madam Chair, I am going to assume that question was for me. Certainly one of the very special experiences of going into space is that we do see our whole planet, In fact, we can go around it in 90 minutes. It is a small planet and we all live together, all seven and three-quarter billion of us and about 200 countries. It makes us think a lot about a couple of things in particular.

One is that we should try to find a way to get along because there is nowhere else for us to go, especially when we look at the dark space that surrounds our planet. The second thing is that we realize we are doing things to our planet, environmentally speaking, and we need to be very cognizant of that to ensure we do not ruin the planet for our children and grandchildren.
