This view of Earth is similar to what Yuri Gagarin saw fifty years a go when he became the first man in space. In addition to being the first man in space, he was the first man to get this great view of the Earth. Considering that it was only fifty years ago that the first man was put into space, launched from a ballistic missile, it is pretty remarkable where we have gotten today. Having put a man on the moon, rovers on Mars, satellites spanning our entire solar system, and images that map our universe, it's hard to imagine what the next fifty years of space exploration will bring.
