This is impressive. Here I am sitting in an office (don't tell my boss) and watching the earth from orbit. And not just a still picture from the past, but an animated view from a few hours ago (then I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11079097 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11079097 and wonder if humanity really has come that far...).
