GreenPolicy360: In a fortuitous way, we were 'In on the Mission'... We were in contact with and assisted the NASA DSCOVR project manager in the online distribution of news and educational information about the EPIC DSCOVR history, launch, and beginning of its imaging 'from a million miles away'. Our GreenPolicy360 founder-siterunner looked back at the origins of Earth Science mission of NASA and legislators, scientists, and 'planet citizens' who first envisioned the importance of having data, and a record of 'change over time' of Earth's systems that could be monitored from near orbit in alignment with the original NASA Mission Statement.

The history of these pioneers is a key to understanding, today, now over 50 years on, how we went into space with an eye to understanding our home planet.
