I See Earth! It Is So Beautiful.

Rays Were Blazing Through The Atmosphere Of The Earth, The Horizon Became Bright Orange, Gradually Passing Into All The Colors Of The Rainbow: From Light Blue To Dark Blue, To Violet And Then To Black. What An Indescribable Gamut Of Colors! Just Like The Paintings Of The Artist Nicholas Roerich.

To Be The First To Enter The Cosmos, To Engage, Single-handed, In An Unprecedented Duel With Nature-could One Dream Of Anything More?

Circling The Earth In The Orbital Spaceship I Marvelled At The Beauty Of Our Planet. People Of The World!! Let Us Safeguard And Enhance This Beauty-not Destroy It

What Beauty. I Saw Clouds And Their Light Shadows On The Distant Dear Earth.... The Water Looked Like Darkish, Slightly Gleaming Spots.... When I Watched The Horizon, I Saw The Abrupt, Contrasting Transition From The Earth's Light-colored Surface To The Absolutely Black Sky. I Enjoyed The Rich Color Spectrum Of The Earth. It Is Surrounded By A Light Blue Aureole That Gradually Darkens, Becoming Turquiose, Dark Blue, Violet, And Finally Coal Black.

I See Earth! It Is So Beautiful.
