...P.S. What has the United States ever produced that even approaches the magnificence of this single work of art?

It's truly a work of art, isn't it?

And where is "civilized" Europe's and Asia's work that has approached the magnificence of the images of the earth and the moon from space? The blue and white jewel of Earth against the jet black of space, above the harsh, gray-bright and dead surface of the moon rolling past beneath Apollo?

The first Earthrise, from Apollo 8

Should this sublime image from nature, produced by the artistry a raw, young culture, be considered inferior to anything produced by older cultures?
