Spaceship Earth ... All We Have
This image is in the public domain, from NASA, image #AS17-148-22727. Taken by US Navy Captain Ronald E. Evans, aboard Apollo 17 mission, on 7 December 1972. He used a 70mm Hasselblad camera. This view of Earth was taken 21 750 nautical miles from Earth and shows the west coast of Africa.
People without a "shared sense of place in space" could NOT care less about it; and, their careless behaviors reflect this attitude ...

Full Description
View of the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 crew traveling toward the Moon.
This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica South polar ice cap. This is the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible to photograph the South polar ice cap.
Note the heavy cloud cover in the Southern Hemisphere. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible. The Arabian Peninsula can be seen at the Northeastern edge of Africa.
The large island off the coast of Africa is the Malagasy Republic. The Asian mainland is on the horizon toward the Northeast.

While supporting CincPacFlt Task Force 130 … our Quartermaster Crew maintained the Pacific Theater’s chart locker.
Our decision support systems included a computer-based “Sea Surveillance System” that merged C4I geo-referenced formatted ship movement/tracking data from current operations and current intelligence sources. I confirmed that today’s Google Earth applications are a direct derivative of FOCCPAC’s bioneering (operations research) prototype applications …

We learned our customized classified reports acquired a biased “trust factor” greater than the mix of inputs justified. Some PacRim “emergency operations” command center clients became victims of Garbage In, Gospel Out (GIGO) mindshifting! So, we automated “Information Integrity Assurance” (IIA) scripts to flag detectable exceptions for quicker correction …
When USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) deployed for her NASA Apollo 13 Command Capsule Recovery mission, I made special arrangements to display multiple plots based upon different data feeds including DARPA’s SRNS-1 prototype. This ad-hoc “blended visual learning” experiment became an empowering tipping point for CincPAC group decision support systems!

I met NLPsyOps author Bruce Dillman who was a "near peer" of NASA Apollo Astonaut Ron Evans during 2006:
Dennis Nun, president of Heartland International, Inc., called Results on Target "The best communication book I ever read." Everything we do involves some kind of communication, so you are more likely to get the results you want when you know basic communication processes.
This book translates highly effective Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) skills and techniques into everyday English. It's easy to get results. It's better to get results you want. Results On Target gives you practical steps to improve your results and avoid many common traps.

Pathfinder to the Stars:
Ronald Ellwin Evans wrote the following from his pilot's perch on Apollo 17:
"The Blues of the oceans
The whites of the clouds
The reds and tans of the continents
The Earth rotates with such precision
As you watch the continents come into the sunlight and then disappear into total darkness
As you watch it progressively change from a full Earth, to a one half Earth, to a one quarter Earth, and then just a thin sliver ....
To see such a sight cannot help but reinforce your belief in God"

As a Kansas University Sigma Nu fraternity brother, I benefited from Ronald Evans leadership legacy (1961-1965).
Then, as a commissioned US Navy reserve officer, I adapted and expanded his Pathfinder to the Stars leadership by example (1966-2006).
Ron Evans' career may have inspired naming Pathfinder (Star Trek series)
