As the realization of the critical importance of studying life systems of the planet has grown, the priorities of NASA have shifted.
The incoming US Congress will have to address the evident risks and dangers to the planet, even though its leadership denies risks and dangers.
As we review the latest from the US space agency's new focus, take a look at Pulse of the Planet, Vital Signs released Sept 2014...

Where did Earth Right Now start as a mission?
NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) -- Originally called "Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE)"
NASA's Earth Science Division' plans and manages earth science programs including Earth Right Now.
"The Earth Science Enterprise is dedicated to "understanding the total Earth system and the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment."
NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) provides "long-term global observations of land surfaces, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans."
The Earth Science Projects Division manages the missions which advance our understanding of the Earth.

"The ultimate beneficiaries are the present and future generations of the people on Earth..."
The goal of the Earth Observing project is "improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system."
ESE's Mission: "To improve life here" and "to understand and protect our home planet."

- Earth Right Now
The earth is an integrated system that we need to understand as a system if we are to predict the future of the earth
In the late 1980s NASA embraced the concept of earth system science... the global perspective of earth
the mission to the planet earth and the earth observing system
they will continue
We are in a race against time
We need the best possible scientific understanding... to protect and preserve
and adapt
as 'wise stewards'
