of lightness to leaven the terrible news you keep announcing, because it is terrible news, the way the country s being torn asunder. and this is another even more important fact that moved me to tears. because when i saw the bright blue covering of earth that s only 50 miles wide, and we plunged through at 2,500 miles an hour, broke through it, then all of a sudden like a punch in the face there was the blackness of space. none of the mystery of the twinkling stars, the galaxies, just pure blackness. because the sun was in my face and the wind, whatever the reasons were space is cold and ominous and ugly, and it really threatens death. there s death there. and you look down, and there s this warm, nurturing planet. we ve all heard, it s cliche, vulnerable, fragile, all that
really threatens death. there s death there. and you look down, and there s this warm, nurturing planet. we ve all heard, it s cliche, vulnerable, fragile, all that kind of thing. but it s even more than that. that s death up there and-down here. and between the two, ruining this planet as we are, we re on the verge to bring you the good news that we re at the tinning point. we haven t got time to wait 30 years and argue about a few billion dollars, which we should how much should we invest in global warming? we re there. and so all these terrible things happening in the body politic is merely a hesitation before we all i mean, it s just terrible. i wish i had better news and more entertainment and jokes to
