Observation from Space

Observation from Space

Orbiting around the Earth is a lot different that you'd believe. Out one window you can see every small detail of the Earth, and out another it would be pitch black if it wasn't for the twinkling stars in the distance. The stars might be my favorite part of space, you haven't really seen a star until you are six feet under one.

Other than the stars, it is so amazing to look down on Earth. It's surprising how much detail you can see. If I didn't know any better, I'd think my windows were painted. I could see the Nile River, and it was amazing. I know it looks much better from space, even though I haven't even been there. It made me want to go to The Nile though, just to compare. To see if it looked as good from below as it did from a Bird's Eye view.

There is one more thing that stuck out in my mind, the Great Wall of China. There is a lot of controversy about whether you can see it or not, but I say you can. I could see the detail in some parts, the length was so vast. It took up a lot of space. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was so obvious it was there. If you couldn't see it, I am afraid you must be blind.

Floating through space is like swimming in a sea without water. Flipping, twisting, twirling in the emptiness is like drifting into the depths
