Quote: "When we look into the sky it seems to us to be endless. We breathe without thinking about it, as is natural... and then you sit aboard a spacecraft, you tear away from Earth, and within ten minutes you have been carried straight through the layer of air, and beyond there is nothing! The 'boundless' blue sky, the ocean which gives us breath and protects us from endless black and death, is but an infinitesimally thin film. How dangerous it is to threaten even the smallest part of this gossamer covering, this conserver of life."<ref>{{cite book|author=James Bruges |title=The Little Earth Book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8MM_AnJI5c4C&pg=PA28 |accessdate=4 August 2012 |date=1 April 2004 |publisher=The Disinformation Company |isbn=978-0-9729529-2-7 |pages=28–}}</ref><br />
