At 1:40 his comparison has the earth to a scale as if it were viewed from somewhere near the moon. The NASA video has the earth to a scale as viewed from 1 to 2 hundred miles above the surface.
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. —Albert Einstein
Good grief...
