No borders or lines

Charles Bolden Jr., head of NASA and spaceflight veteran, on the surprises of space (via Parade):

My most unexpected sensation was emotion. Ten minutes into my first flight, I saw a huge island. It took me a while to recognize that it was Africa. It was beautiful but disconcerting — there were no borders or lines. I started to cry, because I couldn’t believe I was looking down on where my ancestors came from.

Amazing.
