(19 Feb. 2010) The International Space Station as photographed from the space shuttle Endeavour. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 7:54 p.m. (EST) on Feb. 19, 2010. [NASA]

This is brilliant. From the height of the ISS, we’re as invisible as our differences and disagreements, our plans and our history. In all our ingenuity we’ve exhausted tremendous amounts of time and effort on destroying one another. Yet somehow in all that, sixteen nations came together to build this structure: a house for the 11 representatives of the human race, our ambassadors to the cosmos.

Can you say “new desktop background”?  Because I sure can!
