Confirmed that Al Gore had this photo on his office wall in the White House during the Clinton administration:
“When I moved into my office in the West Wing of the White House in January of 1993, I asked NASA for a very large version of that [Apollo 17 Blue Marble] picture to put on my wall... It stayed there for eight years.”

I found another photo of Al Gore as VP in front of the Blue Marble, I am assuming this is at the White House but not definite.
From the National Archives: https://clintonwhitehouse4.archives.gov/WH/kids/html/al.html
Was this photo of the Grateful Dead with Al Gore taken in the West Wing? Did the Clinton White House have a huge print of the Apollo 17 Blue Marble photo on the wall?

BBC: How 50 years of climate change has changed the face of the ‘Blue Marble’ from space…
It is an enduring image of the beauty but also the vulnerability of our #planet – adrift as it is in the vastness of the #Universe, which hosts no other signs of life that we have been able to detect to date. But ours is also a planet of great change... BBC news #earth #bluemarble #space #geography #climatechange
"Among the other changes that have occurred since that first image of the entire Earth 50 years ago is the amount of human development and activity on our planet's surface. Although not visible in these images of the daylight side of the Earth, other satellites monitor for lights visible on the dark side of our planet. These show dramatic expansions in the urban sprawl across the continents alongside the activity of shipping on the Earth's oceans."

Saludos, @akaludovico. Pasa y ponte cómodo. Estoy contigo en que ninguna red social nos salvará de nada, aunque alguna (esta) nos ayude a estar en sintonía con lo que queda de humanidad en esta jodida canica azul.

Had a fabulous end of #Winnipeg visit dinner at the #BlueMarble restaurant & lounge, at the #YWG airport. Our mgr fell sick for most of the work trip so we didn't have our customary team dinner together. I had the #beefshortribs with mash & my colleague had the fish & chips. #ywgeats #winnipegfood #ywgfood

A few weeks ago I posted my version of a colour corrected image of the Blue Marble. Back again, this time with a little animation showing the before/after.

As people debate the costs, timeline, difficulties and challenges of keeping our planet habitable, it helps to have a reminder of what our (realistic) alternatives are (we don't have any).
