Traducao (Portugues)

Quando você está no espaço, olha para baixo para este planetinha. E vê como ele é frágil. Como é bonito. No primeiro dia, todos apontavam para seu país. No terceiro dia, todos apontavam para seu continente. No quinto dia, todos só tinham consciência de uma Terra. Do espaço, você não vê fronteiras. Não vê guerras. Você vê um planeta. Um lar. E isso te muda para sempre.
