Moonwalkers about Earth

Jim LOWELL (Apollo 13)
We learned a lot about the Moon but what we really learned was about the Earth. The fact that just from the distance of the Moon you could put your thumb up, and you can hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything that you have ever known... Your loved ones, your business, the problems of the Earth itself, all behind your thumb. And how insignificant we really all are. But then how fortunate we are to have this body and to be able to enjoy living here amongst the beauty of the Earth itself.
David SCOTT
It truly is an oasis and we don't take very good care of it. And I think the elevation of that awareness is a real contribution to, you know, saving the Earth, if you will.
John YOUNG (Apollo 10 & 16)
Earth has changed a lot since we started flying in Gemini. There's a lot of things like urban pollution and you can see that when you hit orbit now. You can see the big cities all have their own set of unique atmospheres, They really do.
We ought to be looking out for our kids and our grandkids and what are we worried about?
The price of a gallon of gasoline, you know, in the
Alan BEAN (Apollo 12)
Since that time, I have not complained about the weather one single time. I'm glad there is weather. I've not complained about traffic, I'm glad there's people around.
One of the things that I did when I got home, I went down to shopping centres and I'd just go around there, get an ice cream cone or something and just watch the people go by and think, "Boy, we're lucky to be here, why do people complain about the Earth?" We are living in the Garden of Eden!

Origins of Water
So I need to take off to calm down. A caring friend says that water is the thread of this blog.
So let’s take some height to follow the thread.
From where comes Water?
From the montains ? - Good.
From the clouds ? - Nice.
It’s a cycle ? - Great!
Elements of Water (oxygen, hydrogen) have been created by stars.
Each star is an atom plant. Our sun products helium from hydrogen.
When stars die, many elements are spread in the space, and it forms these fabulous nebulous, these luminous clouds of interstellar matter.

Then these molecules join interstellar dust which will join by gravity a planetary system in creation around a new born star.
So primary matter came from initial universe but stars create more complex elements up to give birth to water and then the conditions for birth of life matter.
Some kind of stars – few- are able to product oxygen. In fact these kind of blue stars are created following a collision between 2 galaxies!
SO IT MEANS THAT WE LIVE IN SUCH A HUGE AND LARGE UNIVERSE BECAUSE IT NEEDS THIS SCALE OF SPACE AND TIME TO PRODUCT OXYGEN, TO PRODUCT WATER AND TO PRODUCT LIFE!
Are we high enough now?
