They let New Zealand and Hawaii design the view of earth for the official flag.

(But also I look at this a lot and think about my ambition to sail across it. Radar, satellite phone, all the tech or not... that is a lot of big angry water.)

(But also... can you really claim to know the earth if you don't know anything about all of this?)

@futurebird my country is in there too! I’m in this pic šŸ˜šŸ˜‹

@neurologo @futurebird I think I'm there too, just barely, at the top & at the left edge, judging by the shape of the coast north of Baja California. If not, I'm barely over the edge there.

The funny thing to me was how not-strange, how oddly familiar, this view of the earth became-& how quickly it did- once I saw what I was looking at.
