The lands that witnessed the first steps of San Martín’s heroic enterprise lay defiant before our eyes. Caldwell was emotional. Tayo noted we had left the city municipalities behind and were entering one of the “rural sectors.” Currie had to rely largely on closed-circuit television to watch our progress.
Look closely at the photograph. The robotic arm is visible in the picture’s upper right corner. The ring blinked like an eye. You can even barely see the rainbow.
The United States looked very small from the shuttle’s window. United. States. small. shuttle’s. window.
