Same marble, same fragile planet.
Same turmoil beneath the clouds.
Same senseless wars, same stupid „leaders“.
Same hopes, same sorrows.
Same hope we’ll have advanced 50 years on.

Il y a 53 ans, le 7 décembre 1972, les astronautes d’Apollo 17 photographiaient la Terre depuis leur vaisseau en route vers la Lune : c’est la célèbre image “Blue Marble”, la planète entière suspendue dans le noir. 🌍✨
C’était le dernier voyage humain au-delà de l’orbite terrestre basse : depuis, aucun astronaute n’a revu la Terre de cette façon, en disque presque parfait perdu dans l’espace.
Une photo devenue icône, et un rappel très concret que nous partageons tous… la même petite bille bleue.

Confirmed that Al Gore had this photo on his office wall in the White House during the Clinton administration:
“When I moved into my office in the West Wing of the White House in January of 1993, I asked NASA for a very large version of that [Apollo 17 Blue Marble] picture to put on my wall... It stayed there for eight years.”

I found another photo of Al Gore as VP in front of the Blue Marble, I am assuming this is at the White House but not definite.
From the National Archives: https://clintonwhitehouse4.archives.gov/WH/kids/html/al.html
Was this photo of the Grateful Dead with Al Gore taken in the West Wing? Did the Clinton White House have a huge print of the Apollo 17 Blue Marble photo on the wall?

Attached: 2 images the newest deadcast includes the story of how the grateful dead got to the white house in 1993, told by the person who invited them, dennis alpert, both ram dass’s cousin & al gore’s official trip director (but not like that). https://www.dead.net/deadcast/enjoying-ride-east-coast-part-2 /3
