View from space moves Leestma to hope for world unity
Astronaut David Leestma says Earth’s view from Challenger 41-G shifted his perspective from insignificance to unity. The crew filmed The Dream is Alive, a 37 minute IMAX feature underwritten by Lockheed and the Smithsonian. The film showcases lift off, spacewalks, and Sally Ride deploying a heat measuring satellite with narration by Walter Cronkite. Canada’s Graeme Ferguson promotes the project as an educational atlas of Earth for future generations.
