“When you look at a planet, you do not see boundaries. This is the only planet, one for all, and so fragile … We live on such a wonderful planet. It is impossible to imagine how thin the atmosphere is when viewed from space. We live on it, and it seems big. It seems that the atmosphere is huge, and we can neglect it and treat it badly, “said the founder of Amazon and Blue Origin.
