In the spectacular tepuis of South America, he finds new minerals and insects that have evolved in isolation, and he uses his knowledge of these alien worlds to train astronauts.

hoeveel manen om de aarde zou je kunnen maken als je al dat ruimtebrokken zou tegenhouden en om de aarde zou laten draaien het spreekt me zo zeer aan dat ik alle gedachten daar graag naartoe zou brengen alleen als mensen het ook gaan denken dan hebben we een taak op ons om het helemaal uit te diepen
