Index Entry
Spaceship Earth:
"diameter Spaceship Earth with its then atmospheric, ionic, and radiation-shielding Van Allen mantles, speeding integrally at 17 miles per second in a vast elliptical orbit around our 92-million-miles distant, fully automated energy supply ship-- the Star Sun-- in the presence of our 10-trillion-miles further distant, next nearest star.
"These two stars are our Spaceship Earth’s nearest prime energy, life-givin, and life-sustaining, regenerating supply ships. As do also the myriadm of even further away supply ships, these two stars ‘fly formation’ with our Spaceship Earth in the vast inconceivable ocean of time. The energy supply ships are flown at a distance sufficient to prevent their heat and radiation from drying up and incinerating the many forms of life aboard Spaceship Earth.
“Large though 8,000 miles may seem to the human passengers, who are only one-thousandth of a mile tall, Spaceship Earth’s diameter as seen from another planet is only a tiny pinpoint of Sun-reflected light similar in appearance to the Spaceship Mars or Venus as seen from Spaceship Earth.”
