1
00:00:01,540 --> 00:00:02,640
Earth.

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:05,360
Home.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,800
Of all the planets NASA has explored,

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,720
none\hhave\hmatched the dynamic complexity of our own.

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,420
Deserts.

6
00:00:16,420 --> 00:00:18,220
Tropical forests.

7
00:00:18,220 --> 00:00:19,200
Icy poles.

8
00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:22,340
Massive storms rage over land and oceans.

9
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,840
A unique\hatmosphere protects and insulates us.

10
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:29,000
Liquid water spans its vast surface.

11
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:32,280
And a delicate balance of systems gives way

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,940
to a kaleidoscope of life.

13
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,640
Earth\his a very special place.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,180
From the vantage point of space,

15
00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:43,340
the perspective\hof sky\hand sea,

16
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:44,960
and all across the land,

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,700
we study our planet not only to learn about it,
