Spaceship Earth - First Pilcrow
"Our little Spaceship Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter, which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space. Our nearest star (our energy-supplying mother-ship, the Sun) is ninety-two million miles away, and the nearest star is one hundred thousand times further away.
It takes approximately four and one third years for light to get to us from the next nearest energy supply ship star. That is the kind of space-distanced pattern we are flying."
sampled from Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth,
Chapter IV - Spaceship Earth by Buckminster Fuller, 1969
Bucky's priceless futurism from our near-past, projected into our present, still opens the way to countless positive possibilities, that lay at our feet today.
