“ TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES”
“ ORIGINS”
This mission not only took us to the Moon and gave us the famous“ Earthrise” photo, but it also reminded us all how special our planet really is. Astronaut Bill Anders said it best:“ We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.”
After years of studying the universe and painting distant planets and stars, I’ ve learned to appreciate our own planet more than ever. Earth is beautiful and rare— as far as we know for now, Earth’ s diverse geological beauty and capacity to sustain so many different life forms makes our fragile oasis a rare gem in the cosmos.
