On the Edge

Did you ever wonder what the view is like from one of those satellites that have been whizzing overhead for years.  There are weather satellites, space stations and spy satellites, all synchronized to fly in their separate orbits.  I was standing outside early one morning last week after feeding my birds, looking up, I noticed one of those very bright lights tracking across the sky, and was amazed.  There is still a lot of child left in me, so yes, I can still get amazed.  So much of our technology has been around for years that we kind of take it for granted.  I’m blown away whenever I stop to think about the complexity of our GPS showing me maps and telling me where to turn in real time, knowing that there are a million other people doing the same thing, at the same time.  It’s simpler to just think about the view.
